I believe that the 'sheltered' position of the t'stat and it's lines may not provide the benefit you suspect while driving. As you saw, covering the cooler did next to nothing. You will still be passing fan and rad air over the t'stat, albeit warmer than ambient.

Testing will tell.
Chas,

Check out the post with the testing data. I am seeing a significant increase in oil temperatures with the Canton unit on the car. I am seeing an increase in my oil temperatures from 50 C to about 75 - 80 C in the cold weather here in New England and I no longer need to block the oil cooler.
