In cooler temps during pattern work and in cruise, my oil temps are fine. But when I start working in the pattern in warm summer temps, my oil temp goes up to red line after about the first or second go. I currently have the oil cooler up front of the number 3 cylinder (left side) with about a 3/4 inch lip behind to help direct that air through. I am dumping the hot air into the lower cowling and letting it exit via the opening around the exhaust and front wheel. My CHT seems to be just fine. Before I begin to cut gills, anyone have other options for me to consider? Thanks for the help, Eric Kendall N555AK ekendall@aol.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
