I would really like the oil temp to be 210-220* during normal operation, so a thermostat is in the planning stages. I may go with a Mocal, but the CV part is really nice.

Hmm.. the techies at C&R is where I got my info. Interesting.
My water temp is never below 190, so shouldn't the oil always end up near this since it's warmed by the water much like it's cooled by the water?
