Jason,
I’m wondering what you experienced from the unheated oil. It was my understanding that, due to the fuel rails being in the head, if the engine was up to temp the oil pretty much had to be also. I remember a post (I think) where you mentioned you had spoken with a PowerStroke designer and they told you the oil/fuel would have no choice but come to engine temp almost immediately.
If this is the case and one was to switch to WVO only after engine is hot, would the temp of the WVO be an issue? I really need my oil hotter but don’t want to re-engineer it at this point.
Oh, in an attempt to keep on topic, I've got about 2,500 miles on my 96 PSD and no problems I didn't create myself. Biggest issue; In the aviation industry they use something called FuelLube to seal the threads of the fittings rather than Teflon tape especially after the filter. Teflon can get loose in the system and potentially plug an injector. So, we used fuel lube to seal all threaded fittings. Turns out veg oil dissolves fuel lube. After 800 miles oil was weeping out everywhere. Big sticky mess and royal pain fixing it. RTV (high temp silicone sealant) seems to be good for sealing threads.
Another thing I have not seen here is a source for aluminum tube.
Aircraft Spruce Great source of lots of stuff and prices are right.
