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.

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).
