Cooling System Flow: Oil Cooler
• Coolant is directed out of the crankcase and into the oil filter base at
the front of the engine.
• The oil filter base routes the coolant down into the front of the oil
cooler then toward the rear of the engine.
• Once the coolant has passed through the oil cooler it is routed
up to the top of the oil cooler then directed towards the front
through a port where it is then routed down, out of the cooler,
through a port in the block.

Cooling System Flow: Back of Front Cover
• Coolant is sealed via a metal one piece gasket and is
directed out of the front cover through three (3) passages.
• Two of the passages route coolant to the crankcase to cool
the cylinder walls and cylinder heads (there are different
sized orifices pressed into the crankcase in these two
passages).
• The third passage routes coolant to the oil cooler via a
passage in the crankcase.
• There are two passages for coolant to return from the
crankcase into the front cover.
