    Quite the coincidence. Looks like great minds think alike.

    Hey, fellow members;
    I wanted to share some info regarding the use of oil coolers on street cars.
    This is done mostly for appearence, but I think there is a negative effect from having the oil coolers;
    I have talked to two different local engine builders, with experience with FE engines, about the white gunk in and around the valve covers and the oil breather/pcv area.
    They say this is due to using oil coolers, and the oil does not get hot enough to burn off the condensation.
    I plan to make a polycarbonate panel for the back of the cooler to see if I can get the oil up to 220 degrees, instead of 180-190.
    Do you guys agree?
    Also; I was thinking of putting static cling vintage racing logos like the real race cars had.
    The car has options like the race version.
    Is this a mistake?
    Looking foward to feedback.

    Don

    I don't mind when people ask that; it is a compliment at some level. If they have to ask... I just don't like the term "KIT CAR". There were some really crappy Kit Cars made over the years, and...
