Have a ferret do it.

...and they said tech is dead.. pfffft

True story. A few years ago I was at the Miami boat show poker run in my buddy's 42OL with trip 525's. We lost the starboard engine about 2/3 of the way down. went ahead and just cruised down on 2 engines. Upon inspection at the dock, we found that the ball valve on the fuel line had closed itself in very smooth seas. The ball valves on the other two engines had moved as well, but not enough to block the flow of fuel. So, if you intend to try it, I sure wouldn't trust a ball valve for the job. He had the valves removed as soon as we got back to Miami

Come on guys, let's make it work as efficiently as possible.

First Full Force needs to buy an external pump for each motor. Put a bypass valve in. Use the temp sender to give a signal to a frequency drive. This will ramp the flow up and down as needed. Alsour don't forget to make sure your bypass valve opens and closes at the right time off of the same temperature reading.


Or just buy the thermostat and put it in and be done with it

Will BobM spec out the spring size and line weights?

^^^We still have not heard analysis from Johnson Lifters and CamMotion yet, sounded like that was supposed to happen a little while ago, so...maybe low blow at this point.^^^

RUTRO,might be blow a gasket time for tim.or not.

There's no limit as to how low I can blow.






Uh, hold on...wait a minute...

To be honest, I don't think a manual oil cooler bypass is that wacky of an idea.
The theory of operation wouldn't have a guy modulating the valve all day long, but diverting some oil around the cooler in the spring and fall wouldn't be a bad idea if Tim wasn't getting any heat in the oil.

Obviously, thermostatically controlling the bypass would be a better way and how I did mine, but as apposed to having no means to bypass the cooler, I think it might have merit.
