Default Not installing an oil temperature thermostat ...

.
would make me a little nervous, especially in the Winter.

With a max oil temp of only 195 oF even on the track, I'd be worried about moisture accumulating in the oil and never getting boiled out.

Default I've got a 180 degree thermo and my oil temps stay pegged at 180 in street driving

even when it's 75+ degrees out. I'd imagine it would be substantially less than that without the thermo, and even lower in lower temps.

I'm with RYOUNG on this one - not a good idea to run it without the thermo. Methinks you'll be well out of the normal oil operating temps that it is designed for.

Since the oil system now has 6 quarts instead of 4, can the oil change interval be lengthened?

Default question, since the water lines formed a loop b4, why did you not connect them together?

so functionally the system doesnt know a thing has been changed.

Default It apparently doesn't matter with the 1.8.......>>

Non critical water feed that apparently is not dependent on looping.....(set-up recommended by Hallmotorsports)
