same make as my cooler but I've gone for oil to air to loose heat faster. may run to cold come the winter though

but water is a better conductor of heatsame make as my cooler but I've gone for oil to air to loose heat faster. may run to cold come the winter though
think i tryed to say that before

but water is a better conductor of heat
so why does mine run so cool then?
plus cooling hot oil with hot water how is that better than with cool air?
you must've broken the laws of physics

some pictures of last weeks mods
ARP head studs fitted
webcon Lambda connection replaced with vx220 OEM version and in the original factory location
A rubbish 'Paint' edited picture
the yellow line with red dots shows where the crank sensor loom used to run and the yellow line with green dots shows the new location of the loom.
It used to run with the injector loom and then across the side of the engine, now it runs direct from the ECU along the bulkhead to the crank sensor located at the crank pulley end of the engine.

The Darton sleeves probably played a part in the head gasket failure, but thankfully I noticed the first signs (coolant discolour) and thus prevented any damage.
All cylinders had 215 PSI with my Snap-On compression gauge.
My guess is at full chat (7900rpm) the head bolts couldn't control the 11.5:1 compression ratio and allowed a tiny amount of lift, which coupled with the Darton sleeves allowed gases to escape from between the cylinders and into the coolant.
I will get a picture of the head gasket, it makes more sense then.
