Why dosen't the 300 come with one from the factory anyway?

no 300s do not come with one from factory

300's dont come with them from the factory because they are an extremly low compression 282 that's corked in the exhaust and intake ends. ;) A free flowing, high compression 330 makes a LOT more heat. ;)

Yea, get an oil cooler if you go 330. I'm running the FourStrokeTech cooler on my 330. Easy to install and works great. If your staying stock bore/compression, don't worry about getting one.

he he... it happens

BTW- did you have to cut the oil line to install the FST oil cooler?

Thank all for the info. next what is the best oil cooler to trust after building my motor?

well four stroke tech makes a good oil cooler but you can go to autozone and buy the smallest trany cooler and use it they do the same thing but the autozone one is bigger and cheaper

i would go with the jagg oil cooler. all u gotta do is use the cooler and the filter cap u get from jagg.
