But to knowingly sell someone a gasket that is not correct and not mention it is both careless and irresponsible.

Bellerophon mentioned quite a long time ago that he fitted an oil cooler to his 6 cyl Bristol (401?). I think the other cooling mods mentioned were in relation to V8 cars.

Try a forum search using the term "cooling"
