I was given an oil cooler off an old 1980's Yamaha 850 and it's perfect size for my x18. My questions,
1. can I drill into the head then tap it with some pipe fittings on the plate on the right side of then engine with 3 bolts holding it on and tap into an oil gallery?
2. Does the x18 have an oil pump or just an oil slinger?
