I know that the perrin oil cooler is T-stat, and the oil should not flow to the cooler until the temp reach 185F. However, is it actually work that well in real life?
A simple question is: Will the engine heat up as fast as a car without oil cooler?

Even with the thermo plate there is a trickle flow to oil cooler to prevent air lock. So in winter it takes 2-3x a long to get up to temperature and when that cooler is in clean cold air it wont allow temps to get much above 165F during normal driving.
