Looking at the cowling from the front of the plane the opening is invisible as the cowling which is non standard is slightly wider at the front than the firewall so it is a slow taper to the firewall.  There may be a dead spot there.


Ian,

As an experiment, put a 3 inch hole and hose flange on the right rear backside of your engine baffle and hook it up to the cooler plenum.   If that doesn't cool the oil or it causes the right rear cylinder CHT to run too hot, you can seal the hole back up.  If it works, terrific.
