Oil temp is mostly a reading of how hot the rotors are running. So an
increase in power shows up quickly on the temp gage. If there is close to adequate
cooling the temps should come back down quickly when power is reduced.

Before we had any money at all I used the GM Harrison cores
for oil coolers. Worked fine for me.

Thanks (as always) for the info Lynn.  The temps do indeed come down quickly with reduced power levels, so hopefully, I'm not far from being able to cool this thing.  I can't imagine finding a space for another cooler, though with a huge amount of re-work, I can install the larger Setrab that I have in place of the evap core.  I'm hoping to avoid that. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
