I was thinking about the O/E arrangment today as I was watching the oil temp read out (only this and alternator output work on this lorry which is 15 yrs old and done over half a millon kilometers).

At initial start up does the O/E oil cooler act as an oil warmer as the coolant warms quicker than the oil?
I removed the impellor from the pump and welded in a diversion plate to help direct water flow, has a little cut out in it to keep a water supply to the wet seal.
My power steering pump is still used and doesnt affect anything.
My oil cooler is oil to air with an 85degree thermostat, oil to water coolers should warm your oil and maintain its temp.

A tiny... (but at the same time fairly large!) update on the car... after some fault finding i got her started
This is the first start on the Omex management. She sounds very rattly but the video is just seconds after start on forgies with very little oil flow yet, plus it hasn't been started in 6 months! After a minute or so it was fine
Short of the water pump blowing a fuse no other problems to report, even fixed the oil leak i found!
Month or so and she'll be off for mapping and see where it goes from there watch this space :P
