I went flying yesterday when the temp was about 20 F. I was flying
LOP at about 60% power and had cylinders that were in the 250's and
oil at 140. The oil cooler has a cockpit actuated valve that
controls airflow to the cooler and it was fully closed. I know I
need to block the airflow into the engine. What's the best way to
accomplish this and how much reduction will be needed?

This certainly isn't the most elegant way but duct tape off about 1/2 of the
inlet area on your cowl to start. If you get a warm day, peal off the tape.

If you want to spend the time you can build some aluminum baffles to mount
on the front of the inlet for a more elegant solution.
