So at the great Canadian this year I meet up with Dave and getgoeff. We were talking about how I can cool my oil better. In my 70 slammed bus. And everyone's opinion usually is get a external oil cooler which I did.
So while driving out my constant temp was around 220. I've been told that is the max temp I want. So Dave Geoff and I came up with the idea that put a scoop under the bus and pipe it to the external cooler above the tranny.
Just to do a rough modify to see if it work. I used the front vent window tube under the seat and cut a thin piece out so it just fits perfect (it was the only thing I could think of that was long enough to cover the intire width). And built a scoop under.the frame I tested it on a really hot day and just ripped bettween 115-120 km. for 50 km. and my top temp is 200f. Then I did a nice 105-110 km drive and it stayed right at 190 for the way back of 50km. So yeah it works. Now that I know it works im going to modify the scoop so it's tucked behind the frame with a flap hanging down to scoop up the air. Cool Huh

Just a vent

Nice idea. I need to get to grips with my temperatures too. I'll try something similar, so I can race you next year.

i dont think 220 is to hot , id be more worried first about head temps

220 is money! Any cooler and won't reject condensation out of oil

It's seems to keep a good consistent temp no matter what speed at 220 - 230. The cool air getting to the external fan above the tranny gets a constant flow above the cooler and sucks with the fan below. I thenk that is what made the difference. Engine cooling at 110km makes a huge difference for me at least. I want to keep k-roc great engine for awhile.

Sounds like we all came up with a good idea after all that drinking!🍺🍺🍺🍻
