Whipplecharger and t-stat
Guys-
Should I be running a water thermostat on my whipplecharged 502?
I have a problem with water contamination in my oil every 3-4 trips out and I think it may be due to condensation. Either that, or I have a leak.
My water temp rarely gets above 100 degrees. I installed a new cooler and 200 degree oil thermostat which seems to hold the oil temp right at 200. I guess I would say that it works a little too well since 220 would be better.
Any advice???

I think you are the right path by getting the oil temp to 212+. KEPP sells an thermostat that is between 215-220 degrees. Try one on one engine and see if this fixes the water in the oil issue.
