Looking at two oil cooler thermostats and would like the "non club's" experiences, good or bad with Mocal v.s. Troutman.
Don't want to bias your input with what I currently have, or what I've heard, but would like some objective input from you guys who have used them.... Mocal  Troutman  Wondering about quality, reliability, options and/or ease of mounting, failures, etc. Don't want to make a change without the benefit of everyone's experience! Thanks in advance for your opinions... |

QUOTE(E-Man @ Oct 23 2006, 08:01 AM)  Can anyone comment on their experience with the Mocal sandwich plate with the built-in thermostat? -Mike Hi Mike, lots of people use them Me too... they may not be the prettiest piece of casting in the world, but they get the job done. I used my first one around 1990. when the car became a race car, we gutted the built in thermostat and did everything we could to reduce the hinderance to flow. when the car became a street car again we put a sandwhich adapter with thermostat back into it. I would recommend a higher volume oil pump with an aux cooler too. brant |
