I have a 1982 Westy (brown) that was originally a diesel, but has been changed to an aircooled engine. When I was down at the junkyards, I looked over two aircooled Vanagons. Both of them have oil coolers in the nose, under the lighting grill. They don't have a radiator grill like mine does. My nose is basically empty: no radiator left from the diesel, no oil cooler. Should I run-not-walk down to the yards and get one of those oil coolers (and mounts)? Was the stock in-the-fan cooler adequate for this behemoth? Mark Peregrine fille San Diego, CA |
