Fred ... some questions on the Canton unit . I talked to my engine builder ( Robert Pond ) and looked at my dyno sheets . During the pulls ,
oil temps never got above 160 degrees F. Robert said it was real hard to get the temps any higher and that the aluminum blocks just seemed to run cooler on
oil temps .... which brings me to my question . Do you know what is inside the Canton unit that could allow the
oil to heat up to the 170 degree range while idling ? Sounds like there is some type of orifice that they force the oil to go through . GPM through an orifice equals pressure drop equals heat generation ... and in this case , it sounds like a good thing ( here I`m being an anal engineer again).
I went for a drive Sunday ( 80 degree day ) and never got over 160 while cruising . Robert didn`t sound too concerned about being below 180 to 200 degrees on the oil .
I also went to Canton`s web site and couldn`t tell what was in the unit .... however , depending on your outcome , I may have to get one .
