Just go to a radiator shop and get a new stocker or you can ask them if there is a thicker one with the same profile - same connections including for the auto trans heat exchanger - you need that to bring the auto up to optimum operating temps asap.

there are numerous threads on here about this very arguement. we dont live in siberia and it doesnt get to minus 20 over night and if you have an engine issue were your temp is higher than normal you will shorten the life of your auto trans. if your worried about it freezing up then mount it behind the radiator.

according to extreme offroad 4x4 guys that use auto trans, they use external coolers and i also saw a graph with trans oil temp vs trans life in hours in a mates 4X4 magazine and the hotter the trans oil temp the less life you will get out of the box.

read some threads and make up your own mind

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
