Only of it does, I'd then install one of those high flow thermostats that you install on the oil line, not on the sandwich. The difference is that you inhibit flow substantially when you have a thermostat at a tight place, like the oil cooler adapter or sandwich. I've also updated my oil cooler how to with this info: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=381050 |
We'll actually do this with my older series 1/72 row core on my brother's car. If I can convince him to install a real oil temp sensor as well, we will have plenty of data available, and I'll post the results.
