<VV> external oil cooler

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Arend,  Unless you are doing a lot of hard driving I don't see why you  would 
want to add another oil cooler.  If you keep the cooling fins clean,  have 
all your sheet metal securely attached and nothing is missing then your  engine 
should operate just fine.  I drove two Corvairs over 50,000 miles  (80K 
kilometers) in Europe when I was in my twenties (and back then I cruised at  70 to 
80 miles per hour with one straight run at 90 to 95 from Mannheim to  
Bremerhaven with one stop for gas )and I never had any overheating problems with  the 
stock oil cooler.  I still have the last Monza.  I would spend the  money to be 
sure that everything GM put on your car originally is still there  and 
working properly first before you add an external cooler unless you are  going to 
seriously race it or modify the engine.
