 Has George had good luck with his Setrab? I ask, because the
consensus on the RV list, is that these coolers are to lightly
built. Several have split open, causing engine fires in RVs. Does
anyone know if Setrab has redesigned their cooler, ala Positech?

Charlie what Positech part number is recommended?
They got some heavy duty oil coolers on there.

BTW Jerry I think you should put your oil cooler on the cool
side of the engine.

Like I said,  the Mazda oil cooler does not  fit anywhere.   I called
C & R Racing regrading Setrabs (they are a dealer).   According to
them,  the Setrabs are pressure tested to 150 p.s.i..  Two model #613
would have a core capacity slightly greater than the Mazda oil
cooler.   The  overall dimensions are 13 x 4 x 2.    These could be
mounted as cheek rads. Cost $100.00 each.   That's o.k.  Its the
reports of splitting that I want to learn more about.  Lynn has used
them long and hard without problem. That is a  strong recommendation.

What is the matter with along side the cowl on the right side?
