Mocal Sandwhich Plate Question

[stuart1298 6]

Right, I have limited space on my engine bay, I'm looking at one if These mocal sandwhich plates, and do they work in the way as the normal plates just thinner?

[Anthony 1,000]

I'm not sure that they're much thinner than a standard 1.9 oil-air cooler sandwich plate, although much thinner than the heat exchanger setup used on most XU10 engines.

 

I've got a couple of spare Mocal sandwich plates in the garage if you're needing one?

Well I'm using a Renault oil filter as there only an inch or so deep, but I haven't got the old oil cooler or bolt, so thinking that might be an easier idea, took the old bits out now I've lost em

Yeah they fit with a normal filter on just plus they normaly come with a temp valve in them to let the oil heat up ;-)

You can get them with or without the thermostat.

 

If the OP wants measurements, I have a Mocal thermostatic take-off plate in the garage.

I know you can get them without just dont see the point my aswell get one with car will get to running temp qwicker

I was bein an idiot. The mocal oil cooler allows the oil to flow trough it's own rad, rather then water to cool it. Just bought a full setup up, cheers people

What Renault oil filter you using mate?

 

been trying to find out what smaller oil filters can be used for a while!

[welshpug 1,627]

They're used on loads of the older ones, R5, 11, 19 etc, much the same dimensions as a pug filter but half the height.

 

Just pop to a motorfactor and they'll have them on the shelf most likely, just explain what you're after, have a look at the filter catalogue, make sure the threads match (M20)

Clio 16v/172/182 etc too.

[stuart1298 6]
