Yup, bad habit indeed. When I was 18ish and starting to rally/rallyx, I had a problem with "happy hands" and too much steering input. To finally beat the problem I just had to focus on keeping the left hand locked to the wheel. I hook thumbs because of it, and just can't break the habit on gravel. I can do it on tarmac, but not gravel :P

I've broken both thumbs and scaphoid enough riding bikes to realize it sucks...but some habits die hard!

Do you run the oil cooler and thermostat in the high pressure line to the block or the return line back to the tank (low pressure).

Oil thermostats are not always designed to handle pressure as they are supposed to be fitted in the return line of a dry sump system. The 911 works in that way I think.

Hmmmm...That could be it right there. Its plumbed into the high pressure line. Switching it to the return line for testing shouldn't be too difficult...
