Which also affects the water temperature. My observation is that the huge radiator (if it's the usual Fluidyne) and oil cooler the engine is "over cooled". The engine never really gets to a good operating temperature. If you get an oil cooler at a minimum you should get a thermostat. Some just put it in but don't plumb it to fill the hole in the front. I went to a higher set point thermostat but had I kept it another year would have put in a oil cooler thermostat.
