What I did was cut a nice piece of PlexiGlass the same size as the oil cooler and using that new clear automotive duct tape (Autozone) I fastened the plexiglass to the front of the oil cooler. YOu have to really look hard to see it is there. Covered the back of the cooler as well with duct tape. Engine oil temps are now up about 20 degrees to say 210 according to my oil temp gauge.

I will be investigating the oil sump pre-oiler over the winter and get some more points of data. Worked on the car for the last two days, changing fluids and cleaning.

She is in tip top shape now. Was using a new crawler from Summit Racing (early Xmas present from the family). My arms are tired.
