REFLECTOR: One or Two oil coolers?

[Ron Brown]

Yep, brain F _ _  T!

"Also works great on those long taxi runs at Oshkosh and Sun-n-Fun.  320-330 degrees CHT is the norm on the ground and in cruise - I have my high CHT temp alarm set at 360.  If it goes off, I lower the nose a bit, pull back on the power a bit, and we keep on climbing to cruise altitude (8000 ft.)  I cruise at 155-160 kts, 2600 rpms, 8 GPH, LOP.  One cooler will do the job if installed correctly."

The point I was trying to make is that if the engine CHT's are running cool, the ONE oil cooler will do the job.  My oil temps run between 180 and 220 degrees with my alarm set at 220 on the oil temp - the high oil temp alarm only occurs when I am climbing after a quick turn on the ground. 

Sorry 'bout the confusion.

    Ah-h-h; is there a typo here, like the first 3 should be a 2.  Seems about 100 higher than I'd want to see the oil.
