Greetings,

I'm still having some high oil temps, though the cooler weather is allowing me to get by for now.  I was thinking of trying to apply some of the pressure recovery lessons that Ed tried to teach us.  It seemed to work pretty darned well with my radiator cores, so I figure I should give it a shot for the oil cooler core as well.  

Attached is a very crude drawing of the cross section of my oil scoop.  The top flat line is the evap core, and the vertical line on the right side is the inlet.  The top drawing is the current inside shape of the scoop.  As you can see, it isn't so great.  The bottom drawing is the proposed inside shape.  Anyone want to wager on whether this will help?  As far as fiberglass goes, it would be a fairly painless experiment.  Think it's worth trying?

Thanks,
Rusty (Sir fiberglass hater)

The bottom one looks much better in my opinion. Also make sure the air has good unobstructed exit path.
