Surely the oil cooler plate doesn't have a gasket and uses grey sealant? Or were earlier engines different in this regard?

Possibly lost in translation

Fair point DG.

Dr Gollum , I will get new oil cooler. Just had to wait for a long time. I needed the car to be in working condition.
Bazajt , in lack of original part, I used second hand cooler plate , with some DIY bypass done by some owner before me
So , no gasket , no cooler no seals
I bought everything separately

But changing the thermostat was a new experience, 15 years ago I totally restored my opel Rekord from 1965.
If I have to choose again between thermostat and oil cooler or restoration job, it would be second one without hesitation.

So , Happy New Year to everyone. May you all have successful 2021.
