Just flew back from California to Topeka, Ks. Outside departure temp was 19 when I left Topeka and arrival temp was 12. I flew at 10,500 and 9,500 over the rockies. My oat temp was never above 28 F however the sensor is in the cabin air inlet area and I'm told it reads high due to the engine heat. But, I was able to very the oil temp between 160 and 180 the entire way. It works! If you want some pix I'll send them (they're still in the camera). Installation was easy as was the cable routing. I would do it again in a heart beat. And, no. I'm not going to mention the temperature in Southern California!!!

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!
