Oil Cooler Bypass Thermostat, new and unused , £35 ono ( RRP £65 At Kingfisher kustoms)

Oh cock, I just bought one from Machine 7, how come you're selling it??

im selling because chris thought i would be better of running with out one, as this thermostat at its closed state does still allow some oil through to stop overpressurising, "ALWAYS PARTIALLY OPEN TO AVOID OVER PRESSURIZING" is what i found on the KK website. so in the end we thought best to run without, my engine should wamr up quick anyways, if not ill sort some sort of warming up process out

If you're running a full flow system then you need to run the cooler bypass. The job of the bypass is not to help the engine warm up quicker, but actually to divert cold thick (high pressure) oil away from the oil cooler to avoid damaging it. If you've removed the stock oil cooler and are running your oil pipes from there, then you should be fine as the engines pressure relief valve will do this job.

WHS^^^^^^^
I Just fitted one to mine, heard stories of split coolers and leaky lines because of too high pressure, may take some piccys of install tomorrow!

at the moment my setup is standard dog house cooler , standard pressure reilief valves things, maxi pump with in and out on the pump cover, of that its runs through the extra oil coler and fram oil filter, so really i need that oil thermostat , i suppose i shud run it of the pump cover then bypass then cooler back to bypass then finalaly thorugh the fram filter then back into engine really, ye at cold tick over i about just over 3 bar when warmed 1 bar
