I’m curious how much thermal
‘coupling’ there is between the oil and water cooling in the engine; and
whether it is more one way than the other. IOW; if I could lower the
coolant temp by 20 degrees, how much effect would that have on the oil temp,
if any; and vice versa.
I’m thinking about this
regarding cooling on the ground, and if I’m going to work on reducing one or
the other, which might have the greater benefit. As it is now, the oil
gets to 220F about the time the coolant gets to 210F. Options under
consideration are a fan behind the coolant rad; and a water spray setup for
the oil cooler.
