Is there such a thing as an engine running TOO cool? In light of what (sorry I can't remember who quoted this) Gene Berg says about fixing the problem, not the symptom, it struck me that it might be possible to overcorrect. If an engine is well-tuned and running fine, would it make sense to add an oil-cooler as a precaution? Or could you bring the temp so low as to put the motor in a constant state of "warming up" and never reach proper range. ...now let's see, once I get my fridge working again I can mount the oil cooler inside it, run hose through the sink drain hole, back to the oil pan... I suppose it could get silly. Brian Groot groot14@snycorva.cortland.edu p.s. I'm only a little envious of the '74 and later campers with a solid top bunk. A 230 pound "friend" of mine thought he could sleep in the cot on my '73. He couldn't. Good thing there were 3 people playing cards at the table to break his fall.
