If you type "oil cooler blanking plate," in the white "Search" box with the magnifying glass at the top right hand corner of the header, then you will find a number of opinions. You can then make your own decision.

Re: oil cooler blanking plates??
i just had the holes in my sump for the oil cooler welded up. worked fine for a trackday at donnington and 10 races plus quali/testing without exploding. on my old engine i used the original pipes, cut the pipe right down and squashed the ends then welded them, worked ok but welded over looks neater and shouln't corrode like weld will

Re: oil cooler blanking plates??
haha yeah should have been a bit clearer than that welding over the holes in the sump (ali welding) looks much neater than having the original steel pipe folded/welded and the welded sump wont corrode like the welded steel pipes will.ross46 wrote:"welded over looks neater and won't corrode like weld will"

Re: oil cooler blanking plates??
not only does it need a clean that is frankly a ludicrous solution to a problem that does not exist

Re: oil cooler blanking plates??
could a possible solution be to tap both holes and put bolts straight in with copper washers ie the same idea as the sump plug?
