Becsue it runs fooking hot without one, mine sits at 120-125 deg C at motorway cruising speeds, oil pressure always stays about 3.25 bar tho :), sometimes even get close to 4bar

but surely running hot does not cause that much of a trouble

My valver (ULF) used to run at 120+ on m-ways. New rad, stat, fan switch, header tank and a flush and it rarely gets over 110 now. 8)

Just need to do the same to PCC.

my temps only get up to about 95 if im thrashing it

but then i think my guage could be misreading :D - pressure is spot on though


where is the oil cooler located? think ron had a look and couldnt tell :(

I had new rad, new low temp fan switch, new low temp thermo, flush and full engine rebuild, new heater matrix

I had one on my old valver engine. Got an external mocal one below the rad now. Sits below 100 on motorway with pretty much 4bar pressure.
