"I have a 1985/86 Aq131 I'
"I have a 1985/86 Aq131 I'm trying to rehab that has overheating problem, of course. In diagnosing problem a few questions have arisen:
1. is it possible I have no oil cooler on this engine? I have manual that says it does but when I look around starboard side of engine near oil filter I don't see anything resembling pictures. Should one be there? Could it have been removed?
2. Oil pressure rises quickly on gauge as RPM's rise even in neutral. I would expect that oil pressure should stay steady like a car's regardless of RPM's, no? Any ideas of what this could this indicate?
3. Manual says that overheating could be caused by excessive oil in crankcase. How can I see if this is cause and how to alleviate?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
