Harley Davidson Engine Destroyed By Excessive Heat

Ready for a weekend project that will keep your V-Twin running cool next summer?  Consider installing an oil cooler.  Unless you’re riding a metric bike, or a V-Rod, the only thing cooling your engine is the air flowing past the cylinders.  Yes, the oil in the crankcase also cools by circulating, but that oil can get pretty darn hot in stop and go traffic and especially in summer heat!   That can equate to a shorter engine life.   Consider this - with an oil cooler installed, every 20 degrees cooler your oil runs, can double the life of your engine oil.  And, simply put, cooler oil makes engines last longer!

There are many choices regarding oil coolers, however Jagg, a Centerburg Ohio manufacturer, has earned a great reputation regarding quality, plus offers a wide variety of models and options for the Harley Davidson of your choosing.   One word of caution here: as in many other high quality products, there are also shoddy, counterfeit “Jagg” copies for sale out there that were actually made with inferior materials and components.  These poor quality parts can fail and possibly cause damage to your motorcycle.  Do your research and make sure you are buying the real deal from a reputable supplier like axiomcycles.com.

Some of the oil cooler options Jagg offers are 6 row or 10 row, vertical, or horizontal, chrome or black.  Jagg has an oil cooler that will fit your specific model bike.  Oil cooler kits also include hoses and clamps.  Twin Cam models require use of the oil filter adapter Part#J4600 to access the oil supply.  It is also recommended that a 10 row oil cooler be used on 95” and larger motors.
