> Pete would like to know what you Corvair guys think about his 262° oil > temps.
I've seen 265F on a very long climb to high altitude (before I improved the oil cooler inlet duct), and I didn't like it. I throttled back a little and made the climb shallower, and it started to come down. Even today on super hot days in a long climb it'll get up to 235, so I'm considering a larger oil cooler. Right now I have the stock Corvair folded fin cooler. If you're using something other than a folded fin cooler (if you're using stock Corvair), that's an easy upgrade, as the footprint will be the same. Clark's sells them for something like $12 used. It was standard on the 60 models (I think), but was discontinued due to cost and changed to the less efficient plate type coolers later. Congratulations Pete, and we'll see you at the Gathering...
