If you check the alcoa stock shapes book I believe you will find extrusions with fins on both sides. Unless you have an unusual environment, (like a ultralight where the engine is exposed) you would be better served to just fit a larger oil cooler. The transfer area of a proper heat exchanger does a better job of heat transfer. But then you already knew that. 
 
Hi Bill, 
 
Yeah, I knew that.  If I had room for a normal pan, I'd put a small core inside, and run cool (relatively) coolant through it.   That's close to what I'm doing on the Kolb, using a remote oil/water exchanger, but I have no idea how it's going to work yet. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
