The price for the Z1 oil cooler is actually pretty good. I have a 19 row oil cooler and it works great. I never worry about oil temps anymore. I have had not any problems since it was installed. I have the thermostatic plate and yes you'll want to have something to block at least half of it. As Steve mentioned earlier, you can use just about anything, cardboard works or you can fashion something more permanent as I've seen some pretty nifty ones made with a bit of sheet metal and velcro of all things.
