My cabin heater is the bottom mount Revmaster oil cooler. I made a shroud
that blocks off one third of the oil cooler air exhaust. The shroud has a
SCAT tube going to a A/C Spruce 2-inch air flap valve, mounted on the fire
wall. The off position vents overboard to the back of the cowl. The
variable on position, controlled by a Bowden cable knob in the cockpit, is
SCAT ducted through the fire wall and down below the instrument panel.
Coldest temperature operated so far was 28 degrees F. This heater
arrangement works quite well.

Has anyone considered using the oil cooler for cabin heat? What do you see
as Pros and Cons (diminished chance of exhaust fumes, etc.)?
Thanks,
