Phil,

Is your 20b p-ported? If so, it will idle rougher than a side-port engine. With that in mind, you would be better off to mount the oil cooler from the engine mount. Either way, you should plumb it with flex hose and steel fittings.

If you go through a lengthy period of tuning, you could damage your oil cooler before you get the engine tuned properly.

Is the recommendation that one mount oil and/or water radiators firmly to the engine? Or attach to the airframe solidly, and use flex hose to connect to engine?
How much rocking does the rotary do, with the usual Lord mountings, on start-up or shut down?
