SuperCooler™
Engine Oil Cooler
© B&M Racing & Performance Products 1997
This B&M SuperCooler™ Engine Oil Cooler is designed to lower the engine oil temperature under all driving conditions. It is particularly useful for competition, trailer towing, heavy loads and very hot conditions. It uses a cooler of a unique design, with 100% aluminum construction. It uses embossed plates that are sandwiched together to create one of the most efficient oil cooling devices available. Not only does this unique design provide for maximized cooling through more efficient heat dissipation but it also provides a much sturdier cooler which is practically impervious to flying rocks and other debris.
There are several versions of this kit: #70270 fits all GM V8 engines with recessedfilters.#70271fitstheseother domestic V8 engines: '59 and later Chrysler V8, '67 and later Ford V8 except 4.6 liter, '59-'86 AMC V8 and General Motors V8 without recessed filter. #70263 fits all 4.6 liter Ford V8. These kits differ only in the sandwich adapter that goes between the oil filter and the engine. In all other respects they are identical. #70261 fits most late model Hondas and Acuras and features a polished aluminum cooler. These kits fit engines with spin-on filters - engines with canister filters will need to be changed over to spin-on.
Prior to beginning installation be sure
Printed in U.S.A.
to check for adequate clearance for engine oil filter when used with the sandwich adapter.
The cooler relies solely on air flow to provide maximum cooling efficiency. The best location in the vehicle is where the cooler will receive maximum airflow, both from vehicle motion and from the fan.
Note: The cooler will protect your engine oil from overheating, but it cannot correct a faulty engine. The mechanical condition of the engine should be checked by a competent mechanic prior to installation if troubles are suspected.
CAUTION - For cold climatic conditions, B&M recommends that you install the B&M Thermostatic Control Valve #70259. Engine oil temperature should not operate below 140° F.
When installing your B&M
SuperCooler™ Engine Oil Cooler there is another B&M product you may wish to consider:
B&M Thermostatic Control Valve #70259 This remote oil thermostat will help maintain proper oil temperatures required in today’s high performance vehicles outfitted with auxiliary oil coolers. When oil temperature is below 180° F, the valve bypasses 90% of the oil, allowing 10% to flow through the cooler to prevent possible air pockets. Above180°F,thevalveopensfullyand
flows 95% through the cooler.
INTRODUCTION
This B&M SuperCooler™ Engine Oil Cooler is easy to install by carefully following the instructions.
Read all instructions first to familiarize yourself with the parts and procedures.
Duringinstallation,thefollowingshould be kept in mind:
Keep rubber hoses away from sharp edges, hot exhaust pipes, manifolds and/or points of wear.
Be careful not to bend hose less than a 3" radius. Keep hose runs as short as possibleandalwaysroughcuttolength at least 1" longer than measured.
Care should be taken to keep cooler 1" from fans, 1/8" from radiator and A/C condensers,2"fromhoods,wheelwells andfirewallsand6"fromexhaustmanifolds.
Tighten hose clamps until rubber extrudes through slots, level with the metal surface of the clamp.
After six (6) months, retighten hose clamps to insure no leakage.
Pipe fitting should be sealed with either Teflon tape or thread sealant. Use a backup wrench on the cooler fitting when tightening.
CAUTION - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN FITTINGS. 15 lb-ft is correct torque.
