What is your opinion on oil coolers air/oil or water/oil. I know art

is running a water cooler oil cooler and it works fine my concerns are if

you should lose water cooling there goes the whole system water and oil. At

least if you have your oil cooling system air cooled you have some cooling

of the eng to get you safely on the ground. Also less lines to hook up

without the water going to the oil cooler.I have a meeting with my neighbor
