Test??



Jim, DID you TEST it with regulated air pressure YET????? If so, explain what happened..........Ray

PS if you recall, with the water lines disconnected and the ends wide open, it did not leak oil. Oil pressure is more than water pressure, so how is it leaking water in, but won't leak oil out???????........Test it...........

The funny thing is this cooler has way more miles on my boat than most '80 boats. But for argument sake I run a dump right off the pump with a -8 line. The engine has a -12 as well as the sight blead-off to the headers.

Yep that is one of those cast iron ones, they rust quicker than shit. We market them that way so no-one feels they are getting fucked when they rust overnight. Hit the bricks dumb ass ! If you have nothing to add that is constructive don't add to anyones posts.

I gotta take a pitcure of the oil cooler on this thing. It looks like a refridgeration unit. I have the same one squirtin mentioned on my other jet. This thing has the inlets and outlets on top. it's about 10" long x 4 " wide x 4" deep. Looks like heat exchanger with plates in it. Now that I have desribed a stack of pancakes ...I'll look for my cam cord and post a pic ...lol

Another thing that has me baffled is a contraption that the oil goes into after it leaves the sump. It has a hook up for a sensor but is missing. That I have a pic of. It's mounted to the back of the roll cage.

something like this
http://flatplate.com/
these are the ULTIMATE oil coolers. They absolutely will rot out, can handle in the excess of 350psi, exchange more heat for their size than any thing else. We buy about 100 of these a year and run some really nasty stuff thru them(like salt brine) and have never had a single issue. not cheap though. The reason for the oberg is prolly because anything that gets into a flateplate cooler is hell to get out.

HOOLI, That's your oil filter. You take it apart to clean the screen inside.

Well if that aint the damndest thing! There's a regular style filter on there as well. If I would have known there is maintanance on this thing I would have never bought it :mad:

J/K .. So the sensor that attaches to it tells you when it's time to change it? I imagine this set up allows you to see if there is any metal in there when you clean it?

That's an Oberg oil filter. The connection is for attaching a warning light to show any blockage of the screen. If you also have a filter on your block still, you either have two filters, so what?, or check to see where the lines to the Oberg are from/going. I've seen them used for water inlets, tranny and steering fluid coolers.

The Oberg is more than likely there to check for metal in the pits after those long distance run's. The other filter is more than likely a smaller micron #.

Sleeper CP :D

the thing that takes out those copper tube in shell coolers is they are at least have full of water the whole time the boat isn't being used. Nobody ever thinks about mounting them so they drain when the boat is pulled out of the water. Standing water and copper don't play well together
