I don't think that's right. The instruction sheet says that it simply bypasses the oil cooler until the oil reaches 215 degrees. I don't believe it increases the temperature by reducing the volume passage, increasing pressure through an orifice, etc. I can see problems if it tried to do that. http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/...PDF/22-480.pdf |
