 |
|
Anyone have one of these on their baffle behind the #4 cylinder?
Would like to see pictures - hear your story.
My Vernatherm and oil temp sender are both good - my oil temp runs too cold in the winter.
My IO360B1F6 with SW 8406R cooler gives me a straight-line 185F degree oil temp in the summer (OAT over 65F) - but won't make 150F in the lower OAT ranges.
We get some weird temperature ranges here on the DelMarVa peninsula so a fixed block-off plate inside my plenum doesn't make sense - like this cockpit controllable unit.
Thanks in advance!

I installed there shutter system and it works OK.
I am in Maine and had the same problem. On a day around 20 it will get-oil temp- about 170F at cruise- fixed pitch prop 2400 rpm (at) 3000 alt or so. I have not seen temp below that as it is to cold for me.
For where you are I would expect it to work.

Yes. Mine is mounted on the baffle between the oil cooler and the baffle and it works great. I originally mounted it on the back side of the oil cooler and that was not nearly as effective. Granted we do not have the extreme low temperatures that you folks in the east have to contend with but my engine runs particularly cool and I could not get oil temps above 160 F in the cold months before installing the shutter.
