So I am planning to install a front oil cooler on my 6 conversion. Originally I was going to use a stock t-stat, but it's a little bulky. So the Mocal was chosen. Before I install this piece that is used by many, I question its existence. Both in and out tunnels have full pass through. When temp goes up, it opens the additional center tunnel connecting the two. If the car is cold and this is installed the oil goes to the external oil cooler. If the car is cold and there is no tstat inline the oil goes to the external oil cooler. At least with the stock one the oil would only go to the cooler when temps reached 185. So educate me on why it is needed again.
