Bernie, My oil cooler hangs from the same mounting brackets as my evaporator
cores. They are attached to the engine rather than the motor mount. I do
have a layer of 1/8" red rubber strip for some vibration reduction between
the brackets and the cores.
While I am now aware the convention is to mount the cores on a non-vibrating
surface such as engine mount or firewall mine are mounted to the engine.
Hopefully since my lines run from the engine to the cores/oil cooler they
all vibrate together and in sync and not out of phase {:>)
.
I have a total of 300 hours runtime on this set up.
Early on as Rusty mentioned I did have the cores develop leaks because( I
believe) I had 90 deg fittings and heavy fittings and hose hanging off of
that 90 deg fitting. Since I have eliminated the 90 deg fitting and gone to
a straight vertical fitting, I have had no problem.
FWIW

Question for folks that have over 100 hours on mazda coolers. Are you soft
mounted like Lee H suggests?
