Oil type and temp Questions (houston area)

Don't mess with the spring, if it is below 180 it isn't opened anyhow so you won't notice a benefit... there is no way to fully close the system (and I'm not sure you'd want to have old oil just sitting in the cooler not rotating). If you are really overcooling switch out to a 25 row or do the blockoff plate. I am sure you will get track enthusiasts on the site that would be willing to trade up to the 34 in exchange.

The whole kit was for free so I think i'll keep it lol. When exactly does the solenoid start to open on the mocal? The way I understand it, is that the valve starts to respond to the warm oil and it starts to close. Thats what creates or is supposed to create your 180 degree baseline for the adapter. If I have this wrong by all means break it down for me because Z1 kinda confused me a little bit and i've been tryin to get my head wrapped around it. I know its simple and im goin to end up goin"OOOOOh" lol.
