to 210 is there an oil cooler available and where could you put it,
or is this normal and just keep having fun flying topless??
I think Lynn covered most of it. the coolers are as rare as hen's
teeth. An oil filter can help, especially if you install an illegal
automotive heat sink on the filter and a blast tube to direct cooling
air to it. (The original cooler had a duct from the rear baffle blowing on it.)
The engine is certified for a maximum oil temperature of 225. This
means you can run it all day long at that temp without causing
distress, not that you'd necessarily want to...
