After my oil lines blew I got a little paranoid that it might have been the t-stat. So I removed it, tapped and plugged the bypass hole so that the oil had constant flow through the cooler at all times.
Haven't had any problems yet either. Just double checking.
Has anybody used an electric fan on the stock oil cooler? I am thinking of installing one with a manual switch inside the cabin and turn it on if my oil temps go up. I will put the fan in front of the oil cooler so it will push the air instead of pulling it. If i use the fan as a puller and put it behind the oil cooler i think the factory radiator fan will mess up the electric fan. Anyone tried it before? if yes what where the results? I will use the fan to cool the oil while idling after a hard run too.
I do not have any oil temp problems now but i do not know if i will have any in the future with my front mount IC so i am thinking of doing this just in case..

You could try moving the a/c condensor fan down to the oil cooler if you have it. its an electric fan that goes on automatically based on engine temps.

I think the stock fan already pulls air through the oil cooler.
