Whats the score with the oil cooler .been told too get gid of it . or is it best too keep it on .will it run ok without:confused:

on a road car you dont need it it might even damage the engine by over cooling the oil, for track use maybe keep it fitted just take it off if its a road car and buy the adaptor off vauxhall.

[stevie78]

why would it come standard on the engine if its not needed

[Stuart]

because on some cars it was needed..... those that towed etc. and as the engine was never desined for a nova they didnt not fit one as it was cheaper to make ALL have a cooler than to not fit to a few (production lines are odd places lol)
