RE: [T3] engine rebuild priorities (a little long, but i need help!)


Stock oil pump is fine as is the stock oil cooler.  If you have the "what
the hell" attitude and the time then you could try the T4 oil cooler/tin
modification.  It'd be one of those neat and unique things :)

What's the compression ratio?  If you are 8.0:1 or higher then I'd think
about using the plate cooler in conjunction with an oil thermostat,
otherwise don't worry about a secondary cooler.

Hmm, my web site's search engine is down  :(  I'll contact the admin about
fixing it (server data was moved from Oregon to Utah).
