[QUOTE="pufferfish, post: 13819904, member: 153725"] Adding the air to oil cooler with the boss water to oil cooler seems to very commonly result in slow heat up. It's the trade off to manage heat on track. A thermostat controlled bypass may be in order if you do a lot of street driving. I am considering rigging something like this up for mine when I take the plunge on an air to oil. But also remember that the taking a reading from the pan, while it is the most consistant place to read from, will read lower than what most people will expect to see. So, don't look too far into the number. Look more at the combination of temp and pressure. As for pressure, that is the one I would be really concerned with. If your gauge is consistant, then the gauge is probably right. Even if it's 20% off, 20% off of zero is still zero! Judging entirely by your cold-to-hot readings, you either have loose bearing tolerances or the wrong oil...or the wrong oil for a loose toleranced engine. What oil are you using? Brand and viscosity. Have you tried different viscosities? [/QUOTE]
