? for anyone with an Oil Cooler

[RedBarchetta]

I run a t-stat (see gallery), but since it flows 10-20% through the cooler until the oil reaches 210*, I also use a block off plate (clear plexiglas held in place by velcro) on cold morning runs.

If it isn't at least the upper 50s I don't turn the key.

If you have an OSH hardware store - go ask for "1/8" rubber diaphram in the sheet.

-- get yourself a 1'x'1 slice and that way you can make 2 of them. (one for you one for a freind, to or to messup on)

-- dont forget to take a manila folder with you and a pentel sharpie so you can make a pattern and then cut the rubber to match.

my oil on cold nights stays at 80-90C in a small block ford. (326CI)
