Over the years there has been much discussion here regarding oil cooler blocking to elevate oil temps in cold climes. It seems that most attempts to block off a baffle-mounted cooler at the rear of the cooler exhibited marginal improvements at best, and those that covered the front of the cooler much more effective.

=========================================

You know I've heard this argument for years and it just isn't so. The attached photo shows one that works quite well and is simple to execute.

I would like to know your secret. My oil cooler door is exactly like yours and I detect very little oil temperature rise when the door is closed.

Did you seal all the potential leaks with RTV around the fins of the plates, like GV did?

do not archive

Dale:
Common... you logic alone destroys that argument no?

Example, my Carb heat, does not show any drop in rpms, when checking
mags before take off, etc...but I know that when that little door is
closed, the inside temperature of that Carb. area, is going to got up./

That is law of PHysics...

My 2 cents..
Happy flying

Looks like you have some foam rubber on the door and sealed up around it pretty well... what's the coldest temp you've flown in and what was your oil temp?
