Sid,
I used the fins on the bottom of the case to help cool the oil. Not sure how
much it helps. IMHO, full flowing the oil and a quality oil cooler are the most
important factors. I tried numerous things early in my flight testing period to
keep the oil cool but changing to full flow and a Mo
Revmaster makes the perfect oil cooler for the VW. I used it on mine and if
there was a problem with it, it was that it kept the oil too cool at times.
Check it out on the revmaster web site or in this video on UTube:

I built a NACA scoop on the front of my lower engine cowl to blow air directly
at the oil sump.
Helps a lot . In cool weather (less than 50 F) I actually plug it to raise the
oil temp to at least 160 degrees F.
I can send you a picture directly if you send your email address.

Has anyone considered or is it possible to add or enlarge the oil
cooler
Appreciate all the commentary and suggestions.
I think I have a reasonable bracketing on various recommended temperatures
except for the oil temperature (251 F). The newness of the engine may be
contributing some extra heat. Another factor could be the prop: I don't
know for sure if the Sterba

Second attempt at a reply. You can't be that precise with paper
templates anyway. I was about to cut out a rib and noticed that my
rib template was short by 1/8 inch. I thought that kinkos' printer
had scaled it...I went through a bunch of file manipulation to make a
dxf file and such...then tho
testing no updates

Sid,
It was made known to me long ago that running your oil temperature lower than
212-215 degrees F precludes the natural elimination of condensation and
hydrocarbons from your oil thereby shortening your oil's service life and
actually HARMING your engine by retaining fluid contaminants in the
