RE: Permanent oil cooler vs thermostat
Remove the waxstat from the bottom of the TB. Verify that the water lines to the waxstat are actually functional. Spray or soak the waxstat in carb cleaner and re-assemble using a gasket sealer.
For the oil cooler, to reduce warm up time I place a thin sheet of fiberglass between the oil cooler frame and the fins. I added a hinge on the fiberglass sheet that allows me to uncover about half the area of the cooler. In spring and fall, I run half the area of the cooler, in winter it's completely closed off and in summer I remove the sheet. Dave W
