Thanks David,
Sounds like you have the cooling situation well under control.
Yes, I have “P51” style louvers along each side of the cowl and a fairly
large opening at the bottom aft of the cowl.
Please continue to let us know how it goes

Sorry Ed
forgot temps, on that run, H2o= 198 F, oil= 205 F, that
was WOT circling airport, also forgot to report, we added 2--4"x 4"
louvered SS vents to the bottom rear of the cowl post first flight, now oil is
warmer than coolant. David
