I am opening this thread because i am thinking to install an oil cooler. I know i know little car can handle the heat without it but i want to give it a try, a few degrees lower is not bad for the Greek weather. I am not going to overengineer it with extra filters etc, just a simple oil radiator at the back of the engine bay with simple rubber hoses. I know that there are special 400 euro kits available out there but i have decided to go cheap and full custom and weld an output union adapter at the chain cover back. I have reed here that you have to block one of two oil pump hollow gears and then drill a 2.5mm hole. So my question is if after this oil path restriction is the oil amount sufficient to lubricate the engine?
