Oil Cooler Cap - VPD
« on: March 23, 2012, 07:40:18 AM »
This is the original M42 Oil Cooler Cap from VPD.  He quit making them a few years ago and this was one of the last.  We used this cap with an oil cooler on the race car and kept temps very cool while making over 300 RWHP on the track, even on 100+ temp days.

Has 2 3/8NPT ports plus an 1/8" NPT port for an oil supply line for a turbo or supercharger.  You could put an oil temp sensor in too.  Works with existing M42 engines, includes the cap and bolt.  Uses stock M42 filters, but the top of the filter has to be customized.  Takes about 2 minutes to do with no special tools, but the top opening has to be enlarger to work with the internal seal on the cap.

This is in great shape, $175 shipped.  I think I have a spare filter I will adapt and provide too.

I will post pics when I can, or PM me.

I'm surprised nobody has jumped on this yet.

After looking around, I think I have a spare oil cooler and -10AN Stainless Steel lines.  Would a complete oil cooler kit (requires fabricating a mount) be of interest?

Keep in mind we are selling only the cap and the bolt.  The thread photos above are someone else's for sale thread and photos.
