Oil cooler / lines question

13-05-2008, 10:04 AM

well the engine transplant is nearing completion finally !

the new 750 engine requires an oil cooler - or does it ? does anyone know if i will need one for road use ? i do live in london so with traffic the engine could get quite hot.

I have decided to remove the lines that run to the carb float bowls (for heating) as i will be fitting different carbs very soon anyway. Can anyone tell me what size and thread banjo bolts I will need to attach the oil cooler lines to the crank cases ? the bolts that came out of the the 600 cases are a smaller diameter.

Even if i go for a cooler or not I will still need to put something into the crankcase cooler points - any help to tell me the size and type of thread very much appreciated !

Did the 750 have an oil cooler originally? If not then you are in danger of over cooling it if you fit one.

i believe the 750 did have an oil cooler as standard

Yes it did,

As for overcooling, we have fitted a oil radiator / Cooler to a 620 as when touring abroad we felt it was running a little to warm. Now my missus is much happier. You could by a complete oil cooler kit which had all the bits.

Your 750 engine should have a cover on the front cylinder at the top which has a plate coming forward with holes either side to mount the radiator. If not then are you sure its a 750 engine, as only the 620's and below had no radiator and no mounting holes.

yes it does have that mounting plate on one of the engine covers + i bought the engine from a forum member who is a thoroughly decent chap.

i guess maybe i dont need to get a genuine Ducati cooler however the kits i have seen on ebay look a bit rubbish..
