REFLECTOR: oil temp problems solved

[steve korney]

Hi Mack...

Can you explain the process of putting the Lycoming vernatherm back together 
after increasing the length of the 3/16 rod 1/4 of and inch...?  Did you put 
an extension behind it in the hole...?  How do you get the snap ring back 
in?  Have you defeated the purpose of the vernatherm...?  How much more 
pressure are the oil lines and the cooler subjected to with the 
extension...?  I would like to learn about this....

Best... Steve

Hello Jack
subject oil temp.
I am so happy you solved your oil cooler by- pass valve seat  problems.
That is addressed in LYC .service instruction 1316 A,
As you know it must be tightly closed and seated to cause all the oil to go
thru the coolers.
I did something that would not recommend to any one.it is only an  
experiment.
I increased the length of the 3/16 rod approximately 1/4 inch so the valve
is tightly closed and I had to tape off the rear cooler so we can get cabin
heat. oil temp. 180 f while long climb

Regards
Mack
