I have a new Setrab cooler and Mocal t-stat.

I'd like to install them next month.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't?

I'll be doing mainly a/x. May try a DE this year?

I have a cooler in Frank and Manfred....have NOT hooked them up as the engine has never gotten hot enuff to need them.......yet. They are smaller bore 2.0 and 2.2s....my 3.6 which has NO internal cooler needs two large size external coolers and it uses them....I can watch the oil temp climb, then stabilize and then drop 25-30 degrees after the second cooler comes on line.

As to "cycling"...the PORSCHE t-stat is not mechanical ...AFIK they have a waxy material that gets soft and opens a valve allowing oil to pass. Most cases it does not close unless the engine is shut off.
