Denny - as with Lee, my #2 oil temps are fine, about the same as #1. #3 and
#4 run the hottest for me but never a problem. I take off with ram air so
that I don't starve #1 and #3 of cooling air, which was a big factor before I
discovered the benefits of ram air on take off. I don't have any kind of
scoop like Lee.
I did learn that when mounting the cooler here, I had to mount it to the
baffle only. Originally I had a bracket between the lower part of the
installed cooler and the cylinder head. This made the installation very stiff
(good, I thought) but cracked the cooler flange where the bracket attached.
The cylinder head is moving in a different direction from the cooler and
fatigue was the result. The Beech Sundowner has the cooler similarly
installed with no underside brace so we tried it, and after a year there's
been no sign of a problem.
Best,
Ed de Chazal
