4.6 rover v8 gems oil flow
Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2018 8:29 am
Good morning to everybody
I fitted a 4.6 gems in a tomcat offroad and i used the stock inlet and outlet to fit a mocal oil cooler.
Oil cooler is placed in front of car and coolant radiator is rear mounted, so oil cooler isn't warmed by radiator like stock p38.
I live in north italy nearby mountains, quite cold place in winter, and i was concerned about oil heating with low temps.
I watched official P38 workshop manual, it seems that there is not a proper oil thermostat, but from the drawing (chapter 12, page seems that in some way oil can bypass the cooler circuit.
But in description, land rover says that "pressurised oil from the pump passes through the oil cooler and returns to the full-flow oil filter element", so it seems that oil (also when cold and thik) always passes through cooler.
Can u help me?
