Jeff,
I spoke to Larry on these, he uses them for racing and Rotary applications. They are plate coolers and primarily used for oil coolers, however can be used for radiator coolers he uses them for oil to water coolers.
They are a great design and are stackable as you can add more plates if needed.
For an oil cooler you won't have any problems, for the right size, ask Larry Childs larry@designitprtotype.com while your at it ask him to join this discussion group, we need him on here. I've been looking for a reason to ask him since I was disenfranchised from the other group. Larry wants to eventually produce everything for the Rotary in Aviation and has his own machine shop. You can send him this e-mail if you like, he is very knowledgeable and always willing to help his Aviation buddies - time permitting.
