Z1 Oil Cooler Makes Oil Cooler

@Spohn

Thank you.

I am not sure about ZNationals. I am doing the Chin track day right before it, so I may not be able to get a kitchen pass.

@ jcosta:

You're right. 175 is lower than I would like, and I wish the Mocal plate would let the oil get a little warmer before opening up the cooler. However, even though I said "pushing it" above, that is a matter of degree. Even at a HPDE, I will have the opportunity to run hard for 20-30 minutes at a stretch, and that is a much longer time at a much higher level of intensity compared to my typical mountain road run, which is only a 5 minute run at a level of intensity that acknowledges that my friends, family, and neighbors might be driving the opposite direction on that same road.

Like others on the forum, I will fab up a plate to block airflow to the cooler when I'm not at the track.
