Title: Racimex thermostat Post by: Jesse/DVK on February 24, 2011, 12:16:26 pm Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with these type of thermostats? http://cgi.ebay.nl/Racimex-Olkuhler-Adapter-3-4-Zoll-mit-Thermostat-/250618309133?pt=Autoteile_Zubeh%C3%B6r&hash=item3a5a03ea0d Seems to mount between the oil filter and bracket?

That Racimex thermostat is sand-cast aluminum, the casting doesn't appear fantastic, and the machined surfaces are not shown in that pic. As long as the casting finish isn't representative of its porosity and the adapter is machined properly, it will probably work fine.

You could even modifiy them for more oil flow but I nevered opened mine. The Racimex filterstyle one looks very restrictive for the oil flow. I would not use it.

Your oil-lines will stay "fully oiled" all the time. Jesse, i also used and tested the US "cheap" thermostat over the years, works perfect, you just have to buy the adaptors for your oil-lines... And your oil-lines will stay "fully oiled" as well. Harry Title: Re: Racimex thermostat Post by: Diederick/DVK on February 25, 2011, 22:19:22 pm No hoseclamp-style for me ever.
