Hi Roland,
Thanks for your explanation. I can follow your reasoning, but to me this
approach
of taking out the water thermostat sounds like fighting symptoms instead of
root cause, right?

Last thing I heard is that they are doing a sailing trip around the world, I was
told hey have been away from home for over a year now...

Yes indeed, they have been changing things over quite a lot initially. I don't
remember it's current state, but at one point the original oil cooler was taken
out, and replaced with a smaller oil cooler on a dedicated NACA-inlet (not in
tandem with the water cooler), dumping the air into the cowling itself. On top
of that an oil-water heat exchanger and a cowl-flap. Built to very high
standards
and very cool looking, but most importantly: this setup worked a treat...
