Just a thought.

Also, I feel that headers without heat exchangers create more heat on the bottom of the engine. For example, I put SSIs on my new engine but used block off plates prior to backdating my heater. Temps were MUCH higher with this setup. Once I got air running through the exchangers I probably saw a 15 degree drop in temps.
I was wondering if my newly added block-off plate with stock exchangers could have added to my heat situation as well.

After I get my crap fuel lines replaced tonight, I will be performing the OPRV update (78sc) in an effort to get my temps down and oil pressure on the steady.

...then the Carrera cooler
