Mike,
Thanks for the info about oil coolers.
You mentioned Niagara Thermal asserted they could build a
superior design. I Google'd them and found their web site. As near as
I can tell, they don't have an oil cooler product for the IO-550N. Is this
correct?
If they have such a product, can you point me (and other
interested builders on this list) to it?
Thanks,
Ron

Gary,
I had a long discussion on the phone with the chief engineer at NDM, now
Niagara Thermal. This was several months ago when I was tracking down
IO-550N oil cooling issues. Interestingly, the oil cooler designs that we
have available to us on our certified engines are hopelessly outdated.
They are required by FAA rules to build the coolers with the original design and
performance to receive PMA approval. He said the current technology would
allow them to build far superior coolers.
