Hi List

 Since the warmer temperatures my oil temp has  been

 going to it's maximum at over 250 degrees  especialy

 when take off and cruise..I have the newest type  cowling

 and have removed the botton fiberglas to around  where the

 nosewheel tubing comes out. I have also checked the  input

 from the air intake on the right side oil  cooler.. everything is tight and

 not leaking air..There is a lot of heat inside the  cowling after

 a flight..I am using 100% antifreeze as a coolant  but i understand

 antifreeze has a higher boiling temperature. should  I change it to 50-50

 .I am installing 1150  amphib  floats

 soon so I need to get my temperatures down..Any  help the

 list can give me would be appreciated..Also anyone  in contact with

 Mark Townsend ask him to call me   709-891-1883.or email

100% antifreeze will not cool worth a darn. Of course you are posting about oil temps but on a watercooled motor thses numbers do interconnect. On my watercooled 801 I run 50/50 in the winter and during to summer drain out as much of that mixture and add straight distilled water. There is still a slight amount of antifreeze in suspension to add lubricity to help the water pump seal. If I leave the 50/50 set up in during the hot summer I gain about 15 degrees f in water temp over the distilled version. I also have found my relationship with water temp v oil temp works out to somewhere around for every 5 degrees of additional water temp the oil gains 10 degrees f. 

YMMV

Add a lip at the leading edge of the lower  cowl exit. This will create a low pressure zone and draw more air through the system.

Had exactly that problem till I changed to 50/50  antifreeze and water.  Fixed it.  But renew the antifreeze every  year.
