oil cooler b18c1

[hypnotiq]

Ok, so I bought my car a few months back with a blown engine (grenaded 96 c1). Bought a 95 c1 block (nothing on it). My understanding is the 95 c1 had an oip cooler and the 96 c1 didnt. Well I forgot to pull the filter stud on the 96 c1.
My question is, if the 95 had an oil cooler, does it need one? Or can I run a sandwich plate? I dont have the water to oil cooler tube that runs from the water pump to the thermostat housing. Just the 96s water tube. Doesnt have the extra ports to run the oil cooler. Should I tap into a water line on the tube? Or just say screw it and use the cooler as the sandwich plate and not run water through it?
thanks.

You dont need it. It doesnt really work. DId it not come on your block?

No. I dont even have the filter stud.

I did find a cooler for $15. Was just thinking of leaving it "dry".

 

[Samurai_Blue]

you dont need one. I plan on not running mine on my new motor.

Do you just get a shorter filter stud? Or run a adapter sandwich plate?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

i dont think you need either. Thread on a filter and see.

 

[hypnotiq]

I can't. No stud.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

Oh you might need a new oil cooler I just looked up how they connect.

Ok. Well I could go pull one from a civic or another teg. I guess they are all the same.

all the oil coolers are the same the f22 from the 1st gen odyssey has one and i think preludes do as well.
