I have the louvers on the bottom of the cowl..........they do work.  If you just install the SW cooler and do NOT put in the louvers don't expect much of a change.  AMF when I talked to the people selling the "better" oil cooler for $500 they would not promise cooler oil temps without adding the louvers.  Airflow over the cooler is the issue in the RV10...........NOT the cooler itself.

 Hope this helps

Dean,



Thanks for the invite to share data. I will be happy to do that upon my return from a planned family vacation which starts in a few minutes.  I will be back Aug. 10 midday for half a day and can post again then. 



We are willing to share data but I do not want it to sound like a commercial.  I will present it as charts, along with our observations, that will be available to anyone that is interested so that they can draw their own conclusions.



My wife its past time to go...

I live in TX and did see 200+ oil temps on climb out, I added an extra set of van's cowl vents on the bottom of the cowl under the oil cooler and have seen my oil temps stay under 200 on climb outs now.  I also sealed up all of the large gaps in my baffles.   So it does appear the oil cooler needs some help on hot days in a climb or slow flight.

I've been following along on this thread and am a bit confused by the

references being made to "with louvers or without louvers".   Can some

one please clarify this or direct me to some pictures.    Are these the

cut-out in the bottom of the cowl??   



I will not be using the van's firewall forward kit as I am using an

engine and many of the accesories from Cherokee 6-260  including the oil

cooler.  (its the pma'd one stewart warner one).     I'm planning on

just buying the ff accesories I need piece wise as needed,  (such as the

filtered air box).

Thanks for the input.

The louvers are part of the Finish kit and get installed into the lower

cowling to help dissipate heat. Some builders have been choosing to not

install them, and others have installed them. They are installed from

inside the cowl, and can be added at a later date if necessary, but if

you do it after paint extra care will have to be taken, but definitely

doable.

I think there may be a misunderstanding.  The louvers most of us are talking about are not included in the kit but are purchased http://www.aviationtechproducts.com/html/accessories.html .  I think everyone has the louvers installed that Van's included, but many are adding additional louvers to increase airflow.  http://www.aviationtechproducts.com/html/products_pics.html#louver11

Cool, thanks for the link. I was confused, I did not know  that people were adding more. At least now I have an option for additional  airflow.

In addtion to the louvers that come with the finish kit I installed the 

louvers sold by Alex D.  They really helped bring the high oil temp down.
