Oh yes! And Gary Allen's experiments with that in the 4.0L Jeep engine.
Yup, the UOAs didn't throw any red flags. That was a renaissance period at BITOG, one of the major opinion changers regarding low vis. But that was an uncompromisingly well-made oil that was mostly POE IIRC?
I believe you are remembering correctly sir.
Gary performed a myriad of experiments with that vehicle. I believe it was the one that he had before/after oil pressure gauges on too so that he could observe the bypass and relief events.
Had heat exchangers and what-not controlling temperatures everywhere...
Including this thermostat housing in the lower radiator hose controlling the coolant temperature INTO the engine rather than the temperature of the water feeding the radiator...
One I had mde up in 1997 or thereabouts and donated to the cause (must get another made up for the Caprice, they were a good thing).
