Just a thought, did you fit a thermostatic sandwich plate to instal the cooler?

If so maybe the oil just isn't hot enough to open the sandwich plate.

I know nothing about JXs so cant really comment on specifics.

Cheers

mocal plate?
is it therostatic?

whats an "oil filter stand"?

is it the sandwich plate?

[dave friday]

Thanks Rich,i think you may be right[the oilstat is marked 110c] its just that "jx engines" are supposed to run very hot.
Kev, the "oil filter stand includes a oilstat[thermostat].
Thanks to you both.

110 deg c is a bit high ..is that what was recommended?

[dave friday]

Kev,yes its too high,i just found out its 110c[80 or 90c would be better],i fitted the part[oil filter stand] on a tip from CJ [Syncrospares] some years ago.
Now the thermostat is nla !!.
ps,its a part that was fitted to mk1 golf's.
