Canton or other oil thermostats

Walter,

The Mocal is much more compact and you should be able to just intercept the lines as they go out to the cooler.
The Canton is a good unit but it is so big.
From what I understand the Mocal are used on Porsche's installed from the factory.

Thanks Loadco- my t-stat did not come with any fittings from canton. I picke up some standard fittings and they look too long. Maybe I'll call Canton and see if they can send them to me.


Tony- that mocal unit opens at 180, which may not be hot enough. The canton opens at 215 I believe.

Chap,
180 is plenty hot enough.
If you push it the temp will go over 215 with no oil t-stat.
It is the cruising around with no load on the engine and winter that I want to get the oil temp up faster.
