 The LS1 are substandard coils ?

I know Tracy recommends and uses the LS1 (D580) but has two failures with
the D581 truck coils, due to over heating. This was obviously recognised by
the manufacture by providing a heat sink to the D581 and calling it a D585
and Tracy does not now recommend the D581 - I believe.

However I believe that a cold air inlet directed to the coils is recommended
because of heat at the high end usage of Aviation.
I don't believe the LS1 are considered substandard!
