I finished the installation of the 2nd oil cooler and it seems to have
solved my cooling problem. I installed it on the right firewall in the same
way the original was installed on the left.

PS: The recent 30 to 40 degree drop in OAT's probably helped also.

Albert,
Did that change the cylinder head temps at all?

It isn't clear if CHT's are affected mainly because of the large drop in
OAT. To recap, my original problem was high oil temps in the summer when OAT
would routinely be well above 100F. The engine is a IO-540-exp with 10:1 and
310hp. I tried many things but lastly added a second oil cooler on the right
side. It was installed just like the left side cooler. Unfortunately,
gathering comparison data is difficult since OAT's have since followed the
stock market (ie, down by almost 50%) but it does not appear that rerouting
air to the new oil cooler has affected CHT's. I didn't think it would be any
different since that is the way we cool the left side oil cooler. Now if
this southern Arizona winter weather would just go away and get back to the
100+ temps I need for testing. 70 degree weather is just a pain.
