Oil temp part 2
Based on Dustin's comment it is possible that the mocal thermo plate is in fact working properly. I blocked my cooler (will post that in DIY) and observed a freeway oil temp of ~210f suggesting a 40-50 degree temp delta across the cooler. So when the oil temp is just rising off the 140 peg it is likely that the inlet (and sandwich plate outlet) temp is 180, as it should be. However if the unblocked freeway outlet temp is 160 that is still the temp of the oil heading into the engine for lubrication, which may still be a bit too cool.
