New Oil Cooler Stuff

i'm moving the oil cooler(heat exchanger) from out of between the heads, and I'm turning it into an oil/air cooler.

This is the thermostat that will stop oil going to the cooler if it's less than 80 degrees C (which is operating temp for the engine). This should help get the engine up to temp quicker.




Here's my fancy new guage - oil pressure on top (should be a min of 1.2 bar - 17.4psi). It will go up to around 3 - 3.5 bar at top pressure. Oil temp on the bottom - i need to keep an eye on that to see it doesn't get to high (or low). If it does the new system will have to be redesigned/scrapped.
