[DeTomaso] Oil Cooler- something slightly different

[Julian Kift]

FWIW Earls make a sandwich adapter that is a t-stat as well all in a neat little affair that only adds an inch between the block and filter.

If you're running a water-to-oil heat exchanger (Laminova etc.) then this IS what you want. But if you're running an air-to-oil cooler, then you want a thermostatic housing so that the oil isn't run through the cooler when it's below optimal operating temperature.
