Paul, Johannes, Chris, et al,
Here's what started the whole cooling quest for me -
An article entitled Engine Cooling Problems (September 1996 Sport Aviation)
and written by Jimmy Tubbs at ECI (attached as jpeg images, 2 pages). It
is worth reading. Note references to Lycoming delta-P for 320's and
360's. Note the careful placement of probes.
I have included a more detailed table than that in the article.
