Well, I put it all together and ran the heck out of the 9A this weekend and guess what... NO MORE OIL TEMPERATURE ISSUES!!!! I am pretty excited about this. I did a high power climb from sea level to 8000' this morning to test the new oil cooler and the hottest I could get it was 190. If I had tried that same stunt 2 weeks ago my oil temps would have been well into the 200's.
Very excited for two reasons, first I don't have to worry about oil temps any longer on hot days. Second, I can now go back to work on the 10! :-)

This is the oil cooler bolted in place. The hoses are not yet attached because I was messing with the plastic elbows above. |
