Hello people.
I have realised that the foam on top of the oil cooler is missing. I see there are various threads mentioning it, however none that found a suitable replacement. I imagine it would need to be self adhesive on 1 side and made of a non flammable material. One chap used a Scotchbrite pad which I assume he just stuffed in the gap. Any theories if this would be okay?
As a side note I managed to check the oil pressure from an earlier post of mine and it was a very healthy 12 psi at hot idle speed and 40psi at 2500 rpm, which made me a very happy chappy.
Cheers guys n gals.

Oil Cooler Foam
Re: Oil Cooler Foam
I used a closed cell foam draught excluder on both the stroker engine in my bus and the square. It's done around 12k miles on the bus without issues.
It doesn't need to be nonflammable.

Re: Oil Cooler Foam
I've used current thermal type carpet underlay - not the old rubber backed type. Number of offcuts left over after having a new carpet fitted!
