Another possibility to get the oil temperature up fast
in a safe way is to install a heat exchanger between
the water and the oil flow. Because locally there has
been several successfull cases of using a small aluminum
"Laminova" type heat exchanger and no separate oil
radiator at all I decided to go for this too.
But the original water radiator need to be well placed
to begin with with sufficient air suck out to take the
extra heat load in summertime. Have no results yet but
can send a picture of my 701 heat exchanger installation
if you are interested.
