heeman10 was all like:
daddy (can I call you that?
) - I bought the oil cooler separately, a Mocal 13 row cooler. I don't want anything to stop me using this engine when I want to, so I'll be having the biggest rad I can fit in amongst my intercooler plans, and the oil cooler will help keep everything cool on top of that.
With the water radiator, you have a thermostat which opens at certain temps (around 90 Celcius), because otherwise, when the engine isn't making much heat, it would still be sending the water through to the rad and the water would get too cold. The same applies with an oil cooler. If I didn't use the sandwich plate (explanation coming up later), then oil would permanently be flowing through it, and would run the risk of being overly-cooled as with the water without a thermostat.
The sandwich plate screws on where the Zetec's oil filter would usually go, and it incorporates a thermostat. This will only allow oil to pass through to the cooler at a pre-determined temperature. So one face screws into the block, and the other face is the same shape as the original block-oil filter mounting face, meaning the filter now screws onto the sandwich plate. Job done. Hope that explains it?[/quote]
yer you can call me daddy, boss can i be a pain and ask how much it cost you and were you got it all from and mabye even post up a pic of all the cooler stuff cheers m8 alex
o yer and what bhp you expecting, must be around 250

I'll get one of those when hell freezes over
Daddy - I think the cooler, sandwich plate, hose fittings and hose came to about £100 from Burton Power. I'm afraid I was just back with the car for about 2 hours on Sunday, but will be back for a few weeks over christmas so will try to remember to take some pics of it then. I'm sure I'll be taking loads of pics throughout the whole thing anyway, so you'll have plenty to look at.
Ian - Don't diss what you can't have!

dude_ian - He assures me it's the one used by Escort and Fiesta Turbo's, it's a Bosch 180lph pump, EsCos style.
Daddy - Am only going to run it at 200bhp. The OE Ford pistons wouldn't stand up to much more, and high engine speeds for long durations would see them melt and run into the sump! 200bhp ought to be a safe compromise till I get some forged pistons in a year or two if I want more power.
