I have a friend who has been fighting high oil temps since day one. He has
relocated the oil cooler, and checked the operation of the vernatherm by
heating it in boiling water and checking the seat. Nothing has seemed to
helped the situation. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who cured
their oil temp woes by replacing the vernatherm. The one he has seems to
operate correctly, but who knows if it may be getting stuck. I'm just
trying to get an idea of the success rate of lowering oil temps by simply
replacing the vernatherm.
Regards,
Bob Japundza

I have no vernatherm but fought high oil temps. I solved it by reducing
cabin heat hose clutter, opening the bottom cowl to let air out better
and adding cowl louvers. Best recollection is that it dropped the oil temp
40 deg F or so.

Only one speed test since and it was the same as before. No change.

Ron,
I too have been fighting high oil temps with an IO-360 in an RV-8A. Can you
put me in contact with your source for louvers?
