Instead of getting the "new" oil bolts, what if ................
Reading all of the threads on the oil bolt thing in Europe plus all of "Prolene's" posts on his DIY replacement, the "gears" started turning.
Since this replacement sounds like such a horrendous task from Prolene's threads, if instead of putting the newer bolts in, would it be just as beneficial to say, keep the oil temp cooler and maintain the same old bolts? It has just been shown in a recent thread here that an oil cooler is available for our cars. If this cooler was found to be effective at keeping the oil significantly cooler, would this be a less laborious substitute?
One the one hand, you've got the cheap bolts but quite a few hours labour. One the other hand, you've got a more expensive oil cooler but perhaps a much simpler installation.

If cooler oil translates to higher oil pressure for a given rpm (it should), I would think this would increase the duty cycle of the jets and keep them spraying when otherwise they may not be.

Does anyone know why Woodwork said the banjo bolts recall in Europe was not necessary for the way we drive in the U.S. but the new U.S. cars have the "upgrade" anyway.
Well, I think he actually said that the banjo bolts upgrade was to fix something other than the #4 cylinder failure problem.
