REFLECTOR: Oil cooler VG photo

[Dave Nelson]

Wow is this both interesting and pertinent to me... I've been battling oil temp issues for the past two summers on my std rg - I'll try the VGs tomorrow.

In the meantime, since I'm getting desperate - for those of you that have succumbed and added a second oil cooler - where did you mount it?  Where do you get intake air?  

Thanks.

Dave

  Mike,

  Here is an attached photo of the VG's.  The top VG should produce a clockwise vortex and the bottom one should be counter clockwise.  I have no idea as to why you felt a "flutter".  The only effect I experienced was cooler oil and nothing else.  I felt that my arrangement should stuff air into the  oil cooler opening.  A 20 degree drop in temperature would logically tend to support the theory.

  I hope this is of some help.
