cooling system. No manual bleed points are provided on the
system.
The coolant reservoir should be full when the coolant system
is cold.
Engine Oil Cooler
The oil temperature is contro lled by an air/oil cooler
mounted at the front of the car. Engine oil is removed from
the dry sump, with the scavenge pump. The oil is routed to
a temperature controlled thermostat which controls the
directional flow of the oil. With the thermostat closed the oil
is routed directly to the oil tank. When the thermostat starts
to open (at 105°C) the oil is routed via the air/oil cooler
before entering the tank.
