[quote name='Baldy' date='Mar 28 2005, 02:01 PM']Got mine to 3/4, remember the bad thermostat? Ran fine after that, until I blew the oil cooler line. Have you changed the t-stat recently?

The thermostat and both caps were replaced when the engine was rebuilt about 2500 miles or so ago.

If it runs and isn't leaking oil between the housings don't sweat it.



Heck my 1st gen leaked oil between the housings and it still ran great. Just messy.

you have an s5, they run at halfway. s4 has an actual guage, and should run at about 1/3
