In this cold climate I have been having trouble getting the oil in the green
arc during flight.  My last flight was up to 21,000 and that helped.  But
even with the oil cooler door fully closed I still could not manage 200
degrees.  I agree about heating it up.  I have a gap between the oil cooler
door and the crank case that is about 1 square inch that we have not been
able to figure out how to close effectively.  The throttle cable runs
through this area and makes it difficult to close off.  Do you know any
solution to this?  I do fly the plane regularly, at least every week and
usually atleast an hour at a time.
