Brain trust...
Weather has cooled here lately (26F this AM), and I'm having some excessive cooling problems. I've got a shutter on the oil cooler, and with it completely shut I still can't get the oil temps above 160. WOT, leaned to peak making as much heat as possible it just sits at 150, CHT's will run 250-270. If I drop full flaps and plow along as slow as possible with as much power as I can carry, I can maybe crack 170 and the low 300's. May try leaving a quart out at next oil change.
Ideas?
