The oil temperature is on my 2056 is getting very close to the red zone with even moderate driving on an 80 degree day. I plan to use a Sandwich oil filter adapter type system.
The parts I prefer are:
Derale Atomic Cool DER-15950 Plate and Fan
along with
Derale Temperature controlled Sandwich Adapter DER-15702
What do you have in your spares pile?
Thanks in advance,
Ray
I'm with Dominic, moderate driving in 80 deg days should not put you in oil temperature purgatory , look at your thermostat operation first.

It is my assumption that the aluminum flap valves allow air into the SSHE’s. If the blower is active they keep the flow through the heating system and not into the cooling housing. I replaced the thermostat when I installed the 2056 long block. I will check to make sure it is working. Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you have a CHT installed? My 2.0 would do this and it lead to a poor leakdown causing these hot temps. Might want to ensure the health of the engine first.
I believe the OP has a 2056. This is not a stock 2l... Oil temperature could go up.
I got the parts for my oil cooler install from summit racing. Perhaps they have what you seek.
I have a 2056 with carbs and a stock oil cooler in a 912E (heaver than a 914) and it Ok in Hot Atlanta
So I checked the thermostat and it appears to be working as designed.
Here it is cold.
Here it is hot.

I also checked the timing and it was about 20 Deg BTDT instead of 28 Deg BTDC due to point wear. (Need to install the Petronix on the shelf.) Reset the timing ans saw no temp improvement.
I still cruise at 55 in 5th and see the following on the gauge:
If I get on it I can push it to the red zone on a 80 degree day. I still need to make sure I have the correct sender. I still have the original 1.8 engine so I can use the old sender if needed.
If the sender is correct I think I need an oil cooler so still looking for parts in case it goes that way.
Cancel WTB. I bought the parts from Summit.
