From: Bryan Martin Has the engine been thoroughly broken in? The problem may resolve itself when the rings finish wearing in. Otherwise, increasing the airflow around the oil pan may help. I have a baffle mounted to the top front of my engine to force more airflow down around the pan. If you need an oil cooler, you may also need to use a remote mounted filter. I don't know if such a thing is available for the EA-81. > > Hi all, > > I've spent the last month trying to stop the EA-81 in my 601 HDS > overheating.

Greg, A friend, Kelly Meiste placed his oil cooler adapter where the filter goes and then extended his lines to make the now large filter a finned adaptation that works rather well. You could place the conventional cooler on one side of the lines and hide the filter elsewhere. See attached images.

I mounted a racing Oil Cooler on the right front just behind the cowling on my 601HD. Our oil temps are in the 180- 90's We set up an adapter to the original filter mount and ran lines to a remote filter assembly mounted on the firewall. This works very well and doesn't add that much weight.
