    M20 Factory Oil Cooler Question

    Like many M20 , mine came with the factory oil cooler in the front, well , my main question is, exist a thermostate in the out let oil lines? if so, can I take it out with out lowering the press or something like that?

    I would like to run the oil from the start for better cooling....

    Thanks

      the thermostat valve is in the oil filter housing.

              It may be possible to take it out, but you DON'T want to. The thermostat exists for 2 very important reasons, 1- to help the car warm up faster (a good thing) 2- to keep the high pressure, cold oil from bursting the oil cooler when you first start the car when it's cold.
