Hi,

Just wanted some advice regarding fitting an oil cooler to my 748 now that its making more power.
i am assuming that the 916/996 one will fit as i have seen the standard mounting holes on the front cylinder head are the same.
Is it just a case of fitting the cooler and oils lines etc. Or do i need other parts as well?;)

All advice would be very helpfull.
Thanks.:roll:

If the engine has never had one as standard I am guessing that you'll need to find out what Ducati do to force oil around the cooler circuit. On older suzukis there is a plug in the oil way that is removed if you don't have a cooler.

One of the engine gurus will be able to confirm this.

Rgds, Rob

You need to fit a spring plate between the oil filter and the crankcase.
Have a look on a parts microfiche for a 748SP/9*6 and you'll see it.
Of course, that is in addition to the cooler/hoses etc.
