Fellow Ercoupe enthusiasts,
I need to solve my coupe's high oil temp
problem.
- All the shrouds are there and sealed properly
- I have a spin-on oil filter with a cooling duct direct from the nose surrounding the filter
- The engine may be long in tooth, but I don't believe I am 'pulling' a lazy cylinder thus creating more heat.
Oil temps of 225 are routine
Oil pressure 34 psi min
- The only anomaly I see is that the diverter valve for cabin heat either diverts heat to the cabin or to the interior of the cowl, so essentially, there is a 1-5/8 dia leak path of cooling air from the left bank at all times
Flying and worrying about oil temp is not
fun.
1.Are there any STC's for an oil
cooler?
How well do
they work?
2. Any body else having familiar with o-heating
problems?
3. Is the larger opening nose bowl the
solution?
I don't want to over cool in the winter, although
our coldest winter day is 40 degree in So.Cal
Thank you
