1/4 npt to -6 AN male..., straight - (provides AN males connection for the oil offset) - qty 2
Absolutely! I had a good baseline of engine temperatures at different ambient temperatures using the Power Vision; after installing the relocation I was seeing a pretty consistent 15°; on the very hottest day it was around 12°. As the temperatures began to drop last fall it was more 17° - 19°.
I want to do some more testing this summer to get a better idea; I didn't have enough hot weather last year after the relocation went on; I'd like to get out on a 90°+ day and really see what it can do. My primary reason for going to the relocation was no more mess removing my PCS4C permanent oil filter for cleaning but relocating it out on the downtube appears to have added a bit more cooling, and that's bonus...
Notice in the results TC posted - as air temp was hotter..., which is exactly when more cooling is needed
The efficiency of the cooling system is at its lowest..., which makes total sense
And is what I fully expect to happen w/ this system
What irritates me - is that I have yet to see any supplier of cooling systems spell that out
Cooler the air temp - better their system cools - well duh
Hotter the air temp - less efficient / less it cools - well duh
And it's what anyone looking to cool their sled..., by adding whatever system..., needs to be aware of
It won't work as well..., as temperatures increase
What was the air temp to begin with.., when they (whoever the supplier) tested.., then posted said results
X % of cooling..., by decreasing engine / oil temps Y degrees - at Z air temp
Is not the same as X % of cooling..., by decreasing engine / oil temps Y degrees - at Z +..., or even Z -..., air temp
And X.., and Y - will absolutely decrease..., as air temp rises

Simply food for thought

Yes. Basic heat transfer. Good argument for thermostatic flow control of the oil thru the heat exchanger. Design the system for near-full flow and desired cooling at max expected ambient air temp and use the 'stat to keep the oil from being over cooled at lower temps.
Love Jugs feels thermostatic control is a bad thing. I find that interesting.
"All" liquid cooled engines use at LEAST one thermostatic cooling control to maintain desired operating temps. Most use two: coolant flow control and air flow control.

And X.., and Y - will absolutely decrease..., as air temp rises ... True that, and not in a linear manner.
If you do your testing in a variety of ambient temps, I will be very interested to see what you find.
In our hundreds of heat tests, we always document the ambient temp.

I read that also. He is incorrect, not only in that statement, but in several others he made in the post. It appears he does not know his own product very well.
