Hi Cobber,
I've never heard of a thermostat in the oil line? Wouldnt a closed thermostat stop the flow of oil and instantly destroy the engine?

Or does the thermostat divert the oil away from the cooler only? I assume this would require and extra oil line with a thermostat and a 2 into one line with a valve? I have never seen or heard of such a setup and have not heard about the "blow off" either.

Any chance of a pic, or could you please let me know how it works as I dont know that much about the oil system.
