Greetings,
I've got an oil cooler Kohler part# 24-594-21-F which came from a Kohler CH20 spec #64694, and I'd like to put on my Cub Cadet with a CH20 spec #64638 engine, which was not equipped with an oil cooler.
I'm concerned about a small hole on the filter boss on the block that is at about 10 o'clock . It would appear to be an oil passage that goes somewhere. With an oil filter attached, that passage would be connected with the larger supply passage which is at about 8 o'clock.
The oil cooler itself has a blind hole, approximately 7/32" in diameter on the surface that mates with the block, which corresponds with that hole (oil passage) at 10 o'clock on the block. But being a blind hole, it would seem to block off that oil passage entirely.
It would appear that if there was a slot connecting that 7/32" hole with the large supply passage, the flow of oil between them would behave as it did with an oil filter attached.
Has anybody ever done a retrofit like this, or have any knowledge as to issues that need to be addressed?
I am a machinist, so I could easily create a connecting passage as I mentioned.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
