Oil Cooler replacement

Hi all,

When replacing the oil cooler is there any procedure I need to follow to bleed out air from the system as you would a radiator. I've looked in the workshop manual but it only has the removal procedure shown... and no install procedure.

Thanks in advance!
 
Can't remember whether the cooler circuit is thermostatically controlled on the 1100's or not, (Assuming from the pic in your avatar that its an 1100?). If you want to be safe take the outer plugs out after you've replaced the cooler and hot-wire the starter and spin it for 30 seconds to prime the cooler. You might be able to do it on the button with the fuel relay removed but I can't remember if the fuel relay also controls the starter circuit? Just hot-wiring the starter is easier really.

Thanks Pete,

I wasn't thinking about oil starvation issues on first startup but more along the lines of making sure there is no air trapped in the cooler, as both the inlet and outlet to the oil cooler are on the bottom and I cant see how all the air would escape.

If I recall correctly the 1100 (which I have) does have a thermostat but it looks like the 1200 may not... ive only just noticed that the two version have the cooler piped in differently.
