I recently bought a new 138cc oil cooled lifan donk to replace my 124cc lifan donk which i flogged the casses on.Anyway im no fan of the big solid oil cooler which is quite heavy and looks strange and apparently breaks the hinge welded mount preety easily if not set up right.
-So i was wondering how safe is it to remove the oil cooler and lines from the engine?
-will the engine over heat severly considering the 138 is actually 127cc and only 3 more cc's than my 124?
-I have no worries in blocking the oil coller line holes in the cases as i have the bolts in my old 124 engine ,would this be appropriate to block?
-Should i run an oil that can tolerate more heat such as belray thumper semi sythetic oil?
-Should i stop dickin around with the thing even though it looks like a lead brick?
Im aware some members believe its there for a reason but many riders with more demanding engine such as david pingree who runs a double overhead cam 116cc engine pumpin out 16hp does not even run a oil cooler and his engine is much more of a work horse than mine ,so whats the deal here?
