Rich: I have been reading the conversions about oil temp with interest, and anytime any temperature gets to the red line is a time for real concern. Perhaps this seems like a bit of an oversimplification, but the Skyport 'Super Bowl' boasts a maximum oil temp of 173 degrees at a 70 MPH climb-out on a 71 degree day. The larger gills below the prop provide ram air to the bottom of the crank case and oil sump. They say this all happens at no loss to performance? At $265, this is the way to go. (In my opinion giving a better look to the coupe) There most be a few coupers that have made this conversion?
