Review of Mishimoto Thermostatic Oil Sandwich Plate

phunk

i would really like to see some more pictures of this setup... specifically what it looks like with the thermostat removed. You want to make sure that the threaded hole is even countersunk to accept the oring rather than just smashing it between 2 flat surfaces. If its not countersunk, you want to use a bonded sealing washer to seal that union.

Its hard to say from the pictures... but it really just looks like that oring is totally smashed in there, as if there is no counter bore for it to seal up into.

wow what a POS...I feel for you, man.




looks like the section that failed comes pre installed too

Mishimoto needs to step up to the plate on this one and cover any expenses.

At the 0:45 mark in the video. You can see that one is countersunk for the o-ring. Wondering if the OP's is the same.

Sure they will. They'll send him a new O-ring. Or, at best, replace the sandwich plate. Where you at, Tyler@Mishimoto? You guys going to fix the OP's motor if your POS killed it, or are you going to hide?
