I am about to re-install my heat exchanger on my Perkins 6.354 when I noticed that the raw water flow direction didn't seem logical to me.
My raw water flow is from the strainer to the raw water pump to the trans/engine oil cooler to the heat exchanger and out the exhaust.
What makes more sense to me is having the heat exchanger before the trans/engine oil cooler. The heat exchanger has an end cap the can be easily removed allowing removal of any impeller bits or other debris in the system.
Am I missing something?
Is there a good reason to have the trans/engine oil cooler first in the flow?
Does your Perkins 6.354 have the same flow?
