Hence the system stabilizes at what ever temp shy of 180, and the need for a "cooler door" to raise temps. Impossible, you say.. My 235/320 B1B with mods. runs at mas or menos 155 deg without door. Oh yeah, I don't have a cooler press operated bypass valve and I run a 20/50 wt. oil. Oil viscosity figures intothis also, with cold climates and aero shell 50 wt. what most Mfgrs design around. dpske@teleport.COM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
