The question is about an oil temperature thermostat temperature setting. Is that what you are refering to?

no, coolant stat...was confused myself !

Excellent thread.

I'd like to throw a curve ball at it however :drink:

My new motor started life as a Gen V HP500 (1996). I changed the bypass valve on the outside of the filter pad (on the block) to the 30#. There was no bypass in the center... so, done deal. Until I discovered when looking at my remote pad and noticed that it has a Bypass valve (on the outside part) as well. It appears to a 11#. Should I change that one to a 30# as well?

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the thread, but my eyes were starting to bleed after page 10...

on the oil filter mount ? I'm in the middle of setting mine up now as well..just picked up my 30 psi vakve yesterday...mine has 2 valves installed...guess will remove the center and just run the new 30 in the outside right ??

Thats the way I did mine. Sounds like he was talking about the remote filter assembly. Mine did not have any valves on it.

Yes.. On the remote filter assembly

Never seen one like that before, that is most likely a safegaurd for a cloged oil filter. Not sure what to do there, somone will know what to do.

mines not like that either..I am changing to a aftermarket one with 1/2 NPT fittings bigger cooler lines etc...

I guess I'll just go ahead and put the 30# bypass in there and keep my fingers crossed :drink:
