According to this link: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/downloads/MOCoilthermostats.pdf it's 180 deg.
Difficult to say how OK it would be to mount!
Think about how you are going to use the car and mount the cooler accordingly... you do not want to end up driving without oil...;-)

club trackday coming up been told its a must , youve only just gone and confused me even more,trust me it dont take muchlol, so according to that oil always flows through the cooler but only a small amount till itreaches 180deg,so as not to shock the cooler and pipes with boiling hot oil, im only asking out of interet
iplanned to fit the cooler to the inside front bar infront of the radiater on the left ,

You are correct.... oil by-passes (but monitors temp) the cooler and flows as usual until it needs to be cooler, the thermostat opens fully and all oil passes through cooler. I know where you're mounting it now ans would suggest small rubber washers (mounts) between front bar and cooler... if you can brace it at the top... all the better!

Small amount of give is good just to stop the oil cooler from getting fatiqued. If you can support it somehow at the top then the movement that you have allowed through fitting rubber mounts will not become too excessive... I'd need to bee there... lol... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&gbv=2&ndsp=20&tbs=isch:1

Oil cooler thermo plate open's at 80oC lads engine running temp,if you waited till 180oc you would'nt have any oil it would be greasey carbon like sludge.

Thanks for pointing that out....I should have stated that we were talking fahrenheit.
