DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The engine oil cooler assembly is located on the left hand side of the engine block behind the oil centrifuge and oil
filter. The housing is bolted to the engine block by seven bolts. A matrix is included in the oil cooler housing which
acts as a heat exchanger. Coolant flow circulates through the oil cooler housing under pressure from the coolant
pump and distributes the flow evenly around the matrix fins and then along the block into three core holes for
cylinder cooling. Coolant enters the oil cooler through a pipe with a rubber hose extension at the rear side of the
engine. The coolant hose is attached to the stub pipe of the oil cooler by a spring clip.

Oil, drawn from the sump by the oil pump, passes through the oil cooler via the cylinder block. The flow of coolant
around the exterior surface of the oil cooler matrix cools a proportion of the engine oil flow as it passes through the
oil cooler.

The oil cooler is sealed to the cylinder block by a gasket which must be replaced every time the oil cooler housing
is removed.
