First, he still says he
wouldn't run over 210F.
I'm told by Leon
that REW (3rd gen) engines are designed to run at around 205 - 210F. He advised
not taking the engine above 240 except for short duration, and that oil
temps should never regularly go over 250. 266 would be his limit on a
really hot day, and only for a
short time.
I'm really concerned about
the evap core in the current installation.
From
what you say, I would be too. Didn't
a rotary airplane have two
(count 'em) engine fires because of burst aftermarket oil coolers. If memory
serves the owners wife made him sell the rotary and install a
Lycoming.
Sticking with a stock cooler seems
safest.
John (ready to fly.
Injectors won't fire).
