Thanks for the message. I've spent some time thinking about my options, and have decided to go with an air/oil cooler. I would like to use one that could overlay the radiator, so I would only need one air inlet for cooling. I would like to continue flying the current ugly cowl for now, because I'm just not ready for a complete rebuild of the whole front end at this point. I may also have to consider moving for work in the near future, and would like to get the plane flying well enough to fly off the time in case I need to fly it to a new home (hopefully not). I do like the Setrab line of coolers. They offer lots of sizes, and fittings to use any size oil line you want. I think I'll go ahead and give one of these a try. Now, the real question. What size should I be looking at? The best page I've found for sizes and descriptions is: http://www.elephantracing.com/oilhandling/setraboilcooler.htm I'm thinking of something along the lines of the STD640, 650, or 660. Are these about the right size? Lynn?? Without any real guide for choosing a size, I'll probably go with the largest one that will fit, and figure on using a thermostat if it's too cool (fat chance). A large size will also let me think about mounting it on the back side of the radiator, rather than on the front. That will make plumbing easier for the time being, and will eventually let me reduce the size of the radiator to help with cowl beautification. I'd like to get this cooler on order Monday, so I can start installing it next weekend. If anyone can take a quick look at the size choices, I'll be happy to hear all opinions.
