Can you tell us more about the engine, where oil cooler installed, James cowl or no?, and what is in the panel? Ed Gray, L360 PS How did you paint the galaxy? Ed, The engine is 200 HP angle-valve (IO360A1A). This did not fit in the std cowl, so I spent many hours making extensive modifications to squeeze the engine in. I do have a plenum, and I used the Sam James cooling inlet rings. I used 1/4 inch neoprene wet-suit rubber to connect the rings to the plenum inlet ducts. I will snap some photos and post. I have a two-screen G3X panel and a garmin radio stack including GNS 430, GTX 330, SL30, and garmin/trutrak 2-axis autopilot. Today I found a possible source for the oil cooling issue. Behind the spin-on oils filter adapter was the wrong gasket!!, The gasket was blocking over 3/4 of the flow. Saw this on LML. (thanks again LML) Now I need to locate the correct gasket for an SL2157-H oil filter adapter. As for the galaxies (there are many large and small) I used an airbrush and did my best to copy images made using the Hubble Space Telescope. I printed the images at Costco, and worked from the prints. Practiced in the basement in the evening til my galaxies came out OK. By the way, 273CentiKelvin is the temperature of the cosmic microwave background, which I spent a few decades mapping. -Jeff --001a11c23d2e2a83e604e6b12924 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
