I also forgot most people don't work 3-midnight like i do. That is why im goin with the thermo but I have heard also of having to do a partial block off on the 34row.  |
The thermostatic plate will allow 80-90% of the oil to bypass the cooler, but if it is cool enough then even running with just a 10% flow the core and still bring the oil temp down by a good margin (low flow rate but large temperature drop due to long time in cooler). In Riverside I think you should be okay with just a thermostatic plate added to the 34. If temps are regularly getting below 50F then you will definitely need a partial block off.
