After 1 year and 111 hours WE finally solved my high oil temp problem.
Here is my setup first.
ECi-IO-360
James Cowl
James Plenum
Vetterman 4 pipe
7--A
After much debating my test flight after annual my OT was 230*.
Had to get it fixed because it was only 95* OAT so we put our heads
together and made the final decisions on the plane.
1st---Cut lower tunnel on the lower cowl and extend down 2.5 inches.
This would give me 35 sq inches more of exit air.
Cut, Reglassed and sanded.
2nd---Remove the brackets holding the lower cowl halves together.
3rd---take 2 pieces of .050, couple of platenuts to hold the two cowl halves
together. Put on the forward nose gear cutout cover in place and then
put the upper nose gear fairing on.
Test fly---------185* WOW
Thanks to Glider,Rooster and Woody for all the help and knowledge.
