I've recently blown my 3.9 vbelt, and have decided to replace it with a 4.0 serp&gems.

I started removing the engine from a p38 today.

Everything was pretty much how i expected it, apart from THE P38 HAS A HUGE OIL COOLER......

Is there a reason why i need this? I've never seen one in a v8 defender.

Thoughts please....

Do p38 engines run hotter that your average RV8 then?

Don't you have a oil cooler on your rad?

no just water. Further more, no one has ever mentioned the need for one in all the years I've had it.....

I think the 50th had the same engine as the p38..... i wonder what they did.

best download RAVE again...

They had the oil cooler on rad. I thought it was only the 3.5 that didn't?
