Hi kids,
Jostein of course is correct. All out racing applications are oil-temp
monitored . . . but for a street application cooling is normally
controlled/monitored from the water side.
Anyone remember what a good oil temp should be? (I know my cars has an oil
cooler - maybe this is good, maybe bad!)
Oh boy, more instrumentation!
