Over-Cooling Solutions

bucketman · 11-22-2009, 07:20 PM

Maybe my link was misleading. What I was suggesting was the inline mocal thermostat. The inline, keeps the valving to the oil cooler completely closed until the preset temp is reached. That means your oil will warm to operating temps before the oil cooler would even come in to play. With the t-stat installed close to the cooler, the most you would have would be maybe a quart trapped in the cooler. I almost went this route when I installed mine, but we only have maybe a half dozen days below freezing down here and it is not my daily driver. So it was cheaper to buy the sandwich with the t-stat in it, since I needed a sandwich plate anyway. It just seems to me that putting on and taking off a metal plate depending on the temps outside would grow tiresome.
