oil cooler positions

[kwikaz]

hi guys just wondering if when mounting an oil cooler, is there a specific way to mount it or can you mount it anyway, reason for the questions is im concerned about gravity with the oil being pumped through the cooler efficiently?? here are a few pics , i wan to mount my cooler the same way as the green bike displayed??

I don't think you can do it with those coolers but im not %100 sure

You can mount it that way, no problems. You want the oil inlet to be at the top of the cooler and the retun to be from the bottom outlet. The hot oil tends to rise to the top so in theory the oil at the bottom of the cooler will be "cooler" than the oil at the top (it probably dosent make much difference but that is how it should be done).

wich is wich

where is the intake line and out take line located?? like wich nut the inner or outter nut on bottom of my lifan 140cc?? thanks

I am not positive (mack would be your best bet) but I am positive about the hot to the top and cooler out the bottom (this is how it is on cars with transmission and power steering coolers, as well as radatiors). If you really need to find out for your self disconnect your spark plug (or kill swich in the off position) and kick it over without the oil cooler on and see which line the oil comes out of.
Sorry I couldnt be much more help.

I think you will find that the top bolt on your motor (the outer bolt), is where the oil is pumped from and if possible should be attached to the feed line that goes to the top of cooler. The bottom nut (the inner bolt) is the where the oil returns to from the cooler and then gets pumped through the barrel and head

Hope this helps

Cheers
