Oil Cooler Modification

Hi,

 

As my engine is lying in bits I was thinking (dangerous combination).

 

The oil cooler works off a pressure operated valve over 47PSI and the oil cooler gets flow, below that none.

 

There are pros and cons to this system, the pressure valve is on the oil filter bracket, I took out the pressure valve's spring yesterday and this would leave the oil valve completely open.

I have found a source for oil cooler thermostats and have plans to convert the oil cooler feed to a temperature operated system.

 

Opinions would be gratefully received

 

Mark

    Hi Eric,

     

    My only concern with blocking the existing oil cooler feed is that it may act as a supplementary oil pressure relief valve, assisting the one built into the oil pump?

     

    It looks like the yanks may have beaten us to it!!!!!!!!!!

    Do you want to sell your NA's Oil filter bracket?:D

     

    All the Best,
