The sandwich plate has the following description:
This compact, lightweight, high-flow sandwich plate incorporporates a 180o oil thermostat to regulate oil flow to the cooler until the engine is properly warmed up. The sandwich plate is 1-5/16" thick with 1/2" Parallel ports. I understand that 180 should 'probably' be the minimum/ideal oil temp. Can someone clarify this: 1. Based on the description above, does that mean that oil flow gets 'cut off' when the oil temperature falls below 180 deg? 2. If the thermostat acts like an on-off switch, where and when could ' overcooling' occur? Thanks. |

Road Test Update:
went out in the country today and thrashed the car about for 45 minutes or so. Ambient temps 75 degrees, average coolant temps 184, Average oil temps 190. I had to work hard to get it to 200 degrees and it would not get hotter than that. I'm seeing a 25-30 degree average reduction from what I would expect to see without the cooler under similar drive conditions... Last edited by Modshack; 05-17-2009 at 10:27 AM. |

quick not. instead of tefflon tape. Locktite thread sealant works better and will not introduce and teflon pits into your oil system.
