How much energy does an engine produce ? 1 How much energy does an engine produce ?
In fact more than 30% of the potential power is wasted as heat energy - more than is produced as useable power... 2 Why doesn't the engine melt ?
Engine oil works best between 70 and 80 degrees centigrade although it's generally safe up to 100 degrees centigrade. Oil stops doing it's job when it gets too hot. So you can now see the importance of fitting an oil cooler to your bike to improve cooling efficiency and improve power. Take a look at any racing bike - the oem cooler has been removed and replaced with a larger more efficient oil cooler to maximise power... [Top] 3 HEL Performance Oil Cooler Kits Our Performance Oil Cooler Kits consist of :
The hoses are manufactured from Aeroquip high performance stainless steel braided hose with either Aeroquip aluminium reusable fittings or HEL stainless steel permanently attached fittings. [Top] 4 Which are the most popular kits ?
But many more are available - If your bike is not listed but has an original oil cooler fitted as standard then we can replace it with one of our high performance kits. Email your requirements to oil cooler for an individual quotation. [Top]

We
all know that the internal combustion engine is not as efficient
as it could be. It loses energy through friction and heat loss.
But what most people are unaware of is how much energy is lost as
heat and how much more heat is created from the same engine once
it has been tuned... The
potential energy which goes in through the carburettors of a mild
road going four stroke 750cc four cylinder engine is about 350bhp
- Yet the amount of power it actually produces is approximately
90bhp - Real power is generally 25 - 30% of potential. The rest
goes in overcoming friction of the moving parts, pumping air in,
out and around the engine, exiting through the exhaust and in heat
loss. 
Why
doesn't the engine melt ? Where does all the heat go ? It goes
into the oil, the body of the engine and into the oil cooler. And
if the bike doe not have a cooler ? - Well if it has enough fins
and a massive amount of air to cool everything it may be okay -
otherwise expect short engine life, seizure, breakdown of the
oil....
