I understand the Problem (keeping website current) Todd!
The oil pan heat exchanger did work but was removed after I got
better airflow through the normal Mazda cooler. I saw it as an opportunity
to get rid of about 2 - 3 pounds of hardware, hoses, etc. I still like the
basic idea and may try a much larger exchanger in the pan to allow the use of a
smaller air/oil cooler.

matrix in the oil pan
Hi Mike;
Tracy once used a copper line running coolant
through his oilpan, but this
was on an early version of his 13B adventures.
Recently someone had asked me
about that, after reading through my old copy
of his book, and I'd been
meaning to ask Tracy when/if/why he removed
it?
So how about it Tracy? And are you planning (between filling
Rusty's
orders) on writing an updated book based on knowledge gained over
the last
few years, with the Renesis & 20B. I often get asked about
this.

Subject: [FlyRotary] water cooled matrix in the oil
pan
Dear All,
I was reading through some of the old postings
and came across Leon's post
in which he suggested putting a water cooled
matrix in a modified oil pan
(sump). This seems to have a lot going
for it. The posting is #1188. Of
course there are minor issues
like not stuffing the dipstick through the
cooler matrix and making sure
the oil pick up goes to the right place, but
nothing
insurmountable.
There were no follow up postings and yet it seemed
quite a decent idea.
What am I missing (apart from pictures of wombats
and/or nude moose).
