Hey all!
FINALLY! I've got my boat running and in the water.
1951 Riviera. KLC Engine.
I bypassed the oil cooler since it was leaking water.
Apparently, the gaskets I cut didn't work all that well.
Anyway, the question is: can I run it this way lightly to shake out some of the other issues?
Naturally, I can just let it leak a bit (it's not much), and run it that way, but I was wondering how bad it would be to run it without it while I set the timing and carb????
I'd post some pics, but that seems to be a no go these days.
Here's a link if it works...
Don't mind the boot stripe being wrong, that's another story...

Re: KLC Oil Cooler Bypass
There are others on this site who have way more knowledge than me, but I would say you should be ok. The oil does not get that hot that fast.
Re: KLC Oil Cooler Bypass
This may be old news because your post was a while Ago but with modern oil’s you don’t need the oil cooler at all.

Re: KLC Oil Cooler Bypass
That's interesting, I was wondering about that.
Of course, I'm just running straight 30 weight, not anything special. But I guess it's still probably better than the 30 weight they had in the 50'S???
Thanks!
