Your posting is rather confusing and I am not sure what you are trying to say. However I can tell you that an Apollo Tank system has no effect on reducing oil surge caused by cornering forces, it is a system for filtering out air bubbles from the engine oil caused by windage. If you are installing a Accusump System this will have a positive effect on reducing oil surge as it is designed to release oil stored at pressure back into the engines oilways when there is a fall in pressure. The solenoid supplied with this system is normaly connected to the starter key switch and will release stored pressurised oil into the engine whilst the engine is cranked. The normal installation position for the Accusump is to fix it on top of the scuttle tray. I would remove the sump foam at the earliest oppertunity, I have seen it break up and am not sure what its purpose is. Rob

If you already have the cooler the best way is simply to block it off with some foil tape and only open it up if your oil temps are getting above 100C. Sorry to say that the Thermostatic sandwich plate is useless in our installation. Could be that the oil pressure is too much for the detent on the spring within the stat to overcome and close once opened, I dont know .

I have tried the Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate on several duratec"d Caterhams. In my experience they stay open once the wax thermostat has opened the valve, then the oil temps drop too low and it can pull down the whole engine temps in cold weather. I recall return trips back from south coast ferry ports late at night the oil and water temps were pulled down below 40C. I think that pendennis has hit the nail on the head dont run an oil cooler unless your racing. IMO the excess oil temps sometimes seen when cruising at 4500rpm on say motorways with a wet sumped engine is due to windage and I would like to try running with no oil cooler and an apollo tank with the idea that there may be a build up of froth/foam within the block & sump causing drag& friction with the result excess heat.
