It  occurred to me that if the oil cooler works well, the oil might run too
cool  when ambient temperatures are relatively low.  Is it possible (and
practical, reasonable) to install a valve in the feed line for the cooler
(and  maybe another in the return line) that could be opened and closed
depending on  need?  I realize that this would create an additional complication --
 that it would be another point for possible failure.  Or am I just trying
to over engineer something?  Anyone with experience with an auxiliary oil
cooler might know if I am trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Maybe the oil would have no problem running hot enough, even with the extra
cooling capacity.
Thanks, DMc

hey David   what feed lines? the coolant ones?? seems like a lot  of
trouble to use another water cooled oil cooler.  They make a sandwich  plate that
allows you to hook up oil lines for a remote oil cooler that goes  above the
oil filter. this is the easiest way to install one and works very  well on
the type 4 motors we have put them on. I have never put one on a vannie
