First of all, where would you mount it? A cooler needs air blowing across it, and you don't have an engine fan. (Not really anyway.) Also, how would you feed it oil? There is no provision that would allow you to do that.
Second, maybe your motor is running lean, and causing extra heat. Have you pulled the shrouds and cleaned the engine? Maybe it's just plugged up.
