Westerbeke W30 oil cooler

I am basically having the same issue as Shipyard in:
http://forums.sbo.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=141400

I need to replace the oil cooler on my Westerbeke 30 engine and was looking for any possible leads on tracking down a part (the quote for a new part if $1,500!).

Any help is appreciated!

what I have found out about the westerbeke parts is, there are more parts available for them and cheaper in in the UK than there are here...

following is a list of engines that are the same block, but designations are different from the different manufactures... most all exterior parts and components will be the same, but as the westerbeke is a marinized version of these engines, some critical parts may different and will not work in a marine application...

British Leyland-1500
British Leyland-4-98
MG-110
Leyland-1.54
BMG –9/16
Nunfield-425
Perkins –4-91

Thanks Centerline!

This info is very useful, looks like Nuffield 425 may be our answer
