So I'm ready to install an external oil cooler up front for my 3.2.....it's a 914 conversion and when I open the MOCAL box I see that the moron sent me a -10AN thermostat...which NOT what wanted as my cooler and all the lines are NOT -10...... I am cutting into the oil line that connects to the engine direct the to oil tank Not the line that goes from the tank to the stock cooler...... so.....is this oil which is HOT, already gone thru the internal engine oil thermostat? Is it thin and safe to plumb in the cooler without another thermostat? |

There is a thermostat on the rear of the engine for the engine mounted cooler. You would pick up the line that returns to the tank and install the thermostat at that point.
The way it is supposed to work is that once the engine mounted cooler can't keep up, the oil leaving the engine will be hot enough to open your Mocal thermostat and diverting oil up to your new cooler. Keep the lines short and the new thermostat as close to the engine and tank as possible so when the engine is cold you are not pumping cold oil any further than necessary. |
