Greetings,
As I pre-think some things
I want to try next, one of the thoughts is to make the oil pan into a
significant oil cooler if possible. My proposed single rotor applications
will have the engine out in the breeze, so it seems worthwhile to try to get as
much cooling as possible from the airflow.
The best way I can think of
to do this would be to use a thin aluminum plate for at least the bottom of the
pan. Ideally, it would have heatsink fins on both sides (milled away
for the pickup tube on the inside). Has anyone ever seen aluminum
with fins on both sides? Does anyone have a good source
for finned aluminum of any type?
Thanks,
Rusty (sure don't want to
mill my own)
