Ox' oil temps up to 120-30 C are OK with good synthetic oil. An oil cooler looks in order if you were to track day etc. Paulo wants a cooler (the Portugues guys car) so I will develop a kit. The parts are readily available and reasonable price. I will make up a couple of kits. email me.
Glad you had some fun with the car today, I can't wait to build mine.

If you could make a kit up I'd be after one.
I'd be after a sandwich plate with two take offs for the cooler, and then two take offs for pressure/temperature.
I was also after a thermostatted one, but can't find one plate that will do the lot.
I was seeing 115 degrees last summer at (high)motorway speeds.

I don't understand those original power ratings. It looks like the original was 150whp and <100 ft-lbs. which I have never seen quoted for an S till now.
Anyone can clear this up for me?

We had a LONG discussion about this last time (and why it was asked, not to have it again in this thread
)

so oil cooler may be in order...
Bibbs are you fitting an oil pressure guage or would that not have helped you avoid your problem?
