After installation of the oil thermostat and new cooler I am about to put in the oil. It just occurred to me that the thermostat will block the cold oil from circulating. Should I pre-heat the oil, or what is the recommended technique ?Any good ideas much appreciated.

Hi Karl. The oil thermostat will always have a bypass function so there is no possibility of starving the engine of oil when cold. I have one fitted and it works very well.
Do remember to re-prime the oil system as per the Rotax manual i.e. remove one set of plugs and turn the engine over on the starter motor until you get oil pressure .
Regards Richard
