Also, unless the gap between the oil cooler and radiator is closed off at the seams, it won't have low pressure to draw the air through the oil cooler. It will be high pressure behind the oil cooler. Essentially making it less efficient.

Having high pressure in the front and low pressure behind is what draws the air through because it wants to be in a low pressure area.

I will have to look at mine when it is being installed next week.

Not that this will solve all the issues, but it should be something to be considered.
Agreed these pics during my install show the problem quite well, its a game of where's the radiator lol. And what isn't covered is banged up from the track .
