I set for Cali tomorrow to start my read trip in my tired 300K+ car.
I fitted an "off the shelf" oil cooler (cost $23) did some replumbing (fitted
hosr from pump to bottom inlet of cooler) and my oil pressure is up in a second
(used to take 10 seconds) also it is between 75 and 80 running and rock soil at
idle. My girlfriend also changed the thermstate from a hot 196f to a 160f
and it runs alot cooler, maybe too cool but thats OK for the road trip.
(above I meant to say it runs at 50lbs at idle)
Wish me luck.
Cheers DW
