For those who are up and flying, AND have had cooling problems...
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.
