How to use the oil cooler vent door -- a question
John,
    If you have a good cooling setup the question is really about optimizing engine oil temp not managing flow over #2.
    Therefore, I keep the door closed unless the oil is getting over 200.
 
    I'm not clear that #2 gets more or less air than the other left side cylinders as you change the oil cooler door setting.  If anything, you sould just be changing the pressure above all the cylinders.   I don't notice that #2 is particularly hot.   It's good to have the oil cooler backed off of #2 enough so that air can get by that part of the cylinder though.  I have to confess though, my oil cooler is backed off of #2 so I don't have any first hand experience of what happens without that mod.
