It turns out the vernatherm had not opened to pass oil to the oil coolers
The vernatherm closes to force the oil to the coolers. It's not like a auto
thermostat.
IMHO, you will be screwing with the oil temp problem with one cooler, so
just put in a second cooler now, and enjoy flying. I know some have "claimed"
to been able to get the front cooler to work on it's own, but unless you can
cruise at 185-190, your still hot. The oil is up to 50 degrees hotter than
indicated in some areas of the engine. Staying just below redline may be O.K.
by the book and not make any noticeable difference now, but it does when it
comes to TOH and MOH times.
