I can't get my oil temp above 200 unless I block about 75% of the NACA inlet. I have a 1" x 4" NACA inlet on the left side feeding a 6" piece of 3" dia. scat into the oil cooler which is on the firewall. The cooler exhausts directly into the space above the nose gear. I think the reason I get such good cooling is that the cowl exhaust area is greater than normal. In addition to the slot for the nose strut, there is an additional outlet of about 5 square inches on each side. the "engine installation" picture on this web page shows the oil cooler mounting and inlet. http://home.attbi.com/~rbelshe/ Bob Belshe 235/320 500 hrs.
