I'd be interested to hear the creative ways used to solve overabundant oil temperatures.... ================================================== I have a O-360 on a short engine mount (Thank You Lancair!))... Oil cooler: 7 vane Harrison, mounted on firewall... NACA scoop directly over the cooler...(i.e. on TOP of cowling) Oil: 15-50 Air Temps (ground): 83 - 95 (Florida) ================================================== I can't seem to get my oil below 200 degrees...(up to 4000 feet) and when I fly someplace for lunch, and the plane 'cooks' on the ramp, I have seen 230 on climbout when I leave. This is NOT fun! Any sure-fire solutions would be greatly appreciated. Jim Solensky
