Question: Oil cooler thermostats
Ok, I think we have covered the plus's and minus's of Oil Coolers running without an oil thermostat* -(BAD)-, what types has everyone found they like, don't like? Sandwich type between the block and the oil lines, in-line, remote type?
* A V-8 oil temperature will run at least 20 degrees cooler with an UN-regulated cooler taking years off the life of the motor.
Oil, at proper running temperature should be 180's to 220's with 250 being acceptable.
