I have the Beaumont bypass valve. It can be seen just to the left of the expansion tank. Like many, I believe street driven cobras generally don't need oil coolers. But, I couldn't stand the thought of a "dummy" cooler install. Currently I'm fully bypassing the cooler. My oil temp follows my engine temp very closely, and with my engine temp generally between 180 and 210, I'm good.

The bypass valve looks good but it was a serious PITA to install. Lots of fittings and bends.

BossCER and xb-60 like this.
