Have you considered using a Laminova type oil/water exchanger?  They're relatively light, compact, work well, and come in a variety of sizes.

Thanks all ……

Okay …. So here’s what I’m taking away here.

 

Coolant style heat exchanger at the oil filter location : Not currently being used in known rotary applications. Consensus is that it is not sufficient.

 

Oil Cooler in the radiator? I read where Tracy (in an early version) tried running a coolant coil through the oil pan.

So is everyone running a separate oil cooler?

 

I’m putting this in a canard and will be using the P-51 style scoop. I’ve bounced back and forth between that and a NACA scoop. After reading an article on the ‘Meredith Effect’ I settled on the P-51 scoop.

 

I’m a ways off on the engine install but I’m trying to avoid painting myself in a corner. I should be installing my engine next summer with a little luck.
