S52 Radiator & OEM MZ3 Oil Cooler?

[GrifM3]

I've searched, but can't seem to find definitive evidence. Is anyone using the OEM MZ3 S54 Radiator, oil cooler and hoses with their S52 swap?

I know it takes the S54 oil canister, which I have already. And I've seen a picture of one guys engine bay that looked like the OEM oil cooler hoses were used. But, I can't seem to find that pic now to ping the owner.

Anyways, anyone with first hand experience running this combination of parts?

Thanks!

Yes, the S54 radiator works. The oil cooler might work but you'll have to run custom lines to the cooler.

Alternatively... you could get an S54 oil filter housing and chose any oil cooler you want.

The MZ3 OEM oil cooler will technically bolt up right underneath the MZ3 radiator. However, it won't work very well, as it'll be positioned RIGHT behind the radiator support, blocking most all of the airflow through the cooler. If you cut a large chunk from the radiator support, you could definitely use the stock cooler, but that doesn't seem like a good idea either.

I ended up using an aftermarket cooler and lines.
