Anyone using this oil to water cooler?

I've aquired one of these Ford water to oil cooling sandwich blocks. I believe they come from Scorpios, Sierra Cosworths and turbo diesels. Seems the Ford one is better than most as its allegedly got a lot of copper in it. It certainly feels very dense for its size!

I'll soon have oil lines for an Accusump, Rotrex oil cooler and an air to air oil cooler so I thought this may simply that a bit.

I was considering a Laminova oil/water cooler but at £250 inc all the fittings I think I'll give this a go at £20!

Good to hear. Don't suppose you've got a n oil temperature gauge fitted? Been on track with it?

I'm fitting it to a Toyota 4AGE block. Almost fitted flush to the block but the engine mount is in the way. So I'll get a 10mm space made up to clear it.
