Interesting indeed!Did all Okrasa engines got rid of the thermostat and flap then?

Thanks Mark, I wonder what the technical philosophy is behind removing it.Do they run hotter with it due to the higher RPM's/low end torque involved? Mr. Oettinger, I suppose, must have had a very good reason..Interesting!
It may be that the additional coil oil cooler replaces the function of the thermostat.It is of greater importance to keep the oil temperature within certain degrees and at the same time control the cylinder head temperature. Did they have high flow oilpumps too?
