87 FC Tll oil cooler thermostat
I just changed my hoses for the oil cooler and also removed the oil cooler for clean-up. At the bottom of the inlet/outlet there is a plug and inside a thermostat, I found two O-rings stuck in the housing next to the thermostat, the same size as the front cover O-ring. Checking the front cover, the O-ring was still there!!? Most be leftover from earlier rebuild.!!?? Anyhow, I like to check the function of the thermostat; can anyone give me the temperature range for this to open? Also, is this thermostat needed for proper flow or should I remove it, as Texas is ether hot or bloody hot.

sighs.. once again... take it out and the cooler is in full bypass.... the oil will avoid the long way around through the cooling fins and just shortcut straight from inlet to outlet
you need to BLOCK the bypass passage.. to do this you displace the pellet forwards with washers til the body of the pellet permanently sits blocking the bypass passage
its not rocket science to get your head around.. but why is it so many people still spout to pull it out thinking its some magic mod that makes the oil cooler better when in fact they have crippled there oil cooling ability
