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? |

On my race car we have never run a thermostat for ther front cooler. If it is cold such as at Willow Springs in March I tape the cooler opening some or let the engine warm up before going fast. I've owned it since 1998 and never had any issues.
