On the 2nd oil cooler, heading to 3rd

Jac Mac,
You have a PM.

Does your oil pressure spike, peg your gage when you start it up cold? We had a car doing that and the oil pump relief was turned all the way in and he blew two coolers. Changed pump and new cooler problem fixed.

Hello!! Water boils at 100 c or 212 F at sea level, that's the temp that the water "boils off at! Straight science. The pressure will always be a little higher at cooler temps,so one should be aware that you should not "jazz" the throttle when the motor is cold.
I have had a few of these...replaced with a new one every time I overhauled the engine.

Oil does not need to reach 212 F to drive away the water. If that were the case no vehicle I every owned would last more than 6 months. I have not found anything specific to cars but written anywhere but anything do with aircraft states the minimum is 155 to 165 F. I think it should be a little higher for cars but it does not have to be over 212 degrees.

I agree if water had to get to 212 degrees to evaporate, your driveway would never dry after a rain, etc.
