Mark, Perhaps using 2-inch SCAT, instead of 1.5-inch, would have less restriction to get more air flow to the cooler. Looks like you are dumping the oil cooler out flow into the engine compartment high on the fire wall. This is a relatively high air pressure location; the local air pressure at

Sal, There is a plug on the left side of the VW 2180 engine into the oil pan. This is intended for the oil temperature probe. Ground is done through the pipe threads on the probe at the engine case. You can also get oil temperature info by tapping into the oil line if you have a remote oil

KR> RE: oil presure regulator

The VW cases used for aircraft are usually the dual relief cases. The foreword relief plug is the thermal relief, it has the longer spring, and channels the oil either to the oil cooler or back into the main oil galley based on the oil viscosity. The rear relief plug, has the shorter spring, and
