Abstract: A method of modifying the oil cooling system of a diesel engine includes the steps of removing the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and installing a manifold having a configuration adapted to match the mounting configuration of the oil passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The manifold has an oil outlet port directed to a remotely mounted oil cooler. The manifold also has a water passage having a configuration that is adapted to match the mounting configuration of the water passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The water passage causes the entirety of the flow of water to be discharged back to the water cooling system of the engine where it is circulated by the water pump through the water cooling passages in the engine.

Abstract: An oil distribution and cooling system for diesel engines of the design represented by the 6.4L POWER STROKE® engine. The stock oil cooler and cover are removed and a manifold is positioned in place of the removed stock oil cooler and cover. The block has oil in, oil out, coolant in and coolant out ports which align with those on the engine. Coolant is directed to an adapter plate and a relocated oil cooler which may be the removed cooler or a replacement, preferably of the oil-to-air type. Oil to be filtered and cooled is directed through the manifold to a filter and then to the cooler. Cool, clean oil is returned to the manifold for distribution to various engine locations.

Abstract: An EGR cooler for an engine. The cooler has a housing with fittings on opposite ends for securement to mating fittings in the engine exhaust system to circulate exhaust through heat exchange tubes in the housing. Coolant inlet and outlet fittings compatible with mating fittings in the engine receive coolant and circulate the coolant in heat exchange relationship with the exhaust gas in the tubes. The cooled gas is then directed to the engine intake manifold to reduce emissions. A method of rebuilding salvaged EGR coolers is also disclosed in which the existing heat exchange components are removed from said salvaged stock EGR cooler and replaced with heat exchange tube sub-assemblies. Exhaust fittings are then welded to the ends of the housing.

Abstract: An aftermarket modification for diesel engines that operate in cold environments particularly those using an air-to-liquid oil cooler. Engine oil can be routed to a filter and if the oil has not reached the desired operating temperature, a bypass module having a temperature element directs the oil past the cooler to return to the engine. Once the desired oil temperature is reached, the thermostatic element closes to direct oil through the cooler. A pressure bypass element can be incorporated into the bypass module. If the pressure differential between the inlet and outlet of the cooler exceeds a set point, a portion of the oil bypasses the cooler.

Abstract: An oil distribution system for a vehicle diesel engine having a replacement oil cooler block which directs oil to a remote oil filter block. Filtered oil is routed across the supply passage of a thermostat to an oil-to-air oil cooler. Oil from the cooler is directed via a return passage to the oil cooler block for distribution to the engine. The thermostat will bypass oil directly to the return passage when the oil temperature is below a preset level. The system may be an OEM system or a retrofit modification to existing engines. The system may include multiple oil-to-air heat exchangers and may be adapted to retain existing components such as a stock oil-to-coolant oil cooler.
