I was wondering if any body has installed the
"Oil Cooler conversion kit" from MOSS?

This kit will add an Oil cooler for the MINI
Way back when, I had a '72 MGB that had one installed from the factory, and I installed one on my '79 MGB (after market).

I know that these little engines RUN!, back in the '70's it kinda made sense to keep the oil cool.

TIME WARP: our little MINI engines RUN also, but in todays technology with
synthetics, is it really needed? ( out side the track).
Also is there an advantage to the retro "Cardrige" oil filter?
The MOSS kit converts it to a spin on.
I know that there are differences between spin on filters, If you run synthetic's
need to get to the right one.

If any one has MUCHO knowledge 'bout this, I'd appreciate it :smile:
Randy, you listening?
Thanx, for the help

I've seen in a Euro Tuner magzine an ad for BMP Design that has a heat sink that wraps around the oil filter canister. I'd love to get one, but their website hasn't proved very useful in finding the part. It's basically a sleeve of aluminum with fins with an anodized finish.. available in blue, red and silver. Just a matter of finding the right one, if it exists.
