 ==Damper==
-The engine-side oil temperature thermostat (vernatherm) opens at some 170F (measured at the port towards the oil cooler). At high altitude or in winter months, the oil will cool down the oil too much in the oil cooler (e.g. to 140F), especially if a larger oil cooler is chosen. Consider installing a damper that controls the air flow into the oil cooler. As a side effect, the cylinder heads get more cooling if the damper is restricting the flow through the oil cooler.
