Anyway, if you don’t feel like reading it, the conclusion is that the oil diverter does seem to help to some extent. Unfortunately, on this platform, there are no magical solutions to the engine overheating. |
Great info! Definitely seems to be helpful. Lower consistent temps on hotter days. This convinced me to do it eventually. I unfortunately already did all the maintenance for the “while you’re in there” 2-3 years ago and am kind of lazy to do it again… luckily I have the fcp lifetime warranty so when I have some free time to do the diverter valve, I’ll do everything fresh all over again (ofh gasket, valve covers,water pump, thermostat, pulleys and tensioners, radiator hoses, spark plugs, fuel rail, actuators etc…)
Wishing I knew I was going to get this deep into tracking the car back when I did this lol
