REFLECTOR: Oil cooler (FG)

[Doug Kanczuzewski]

I have a custom made positech oil cooler and it has worked well in my IO-540, no problems even when I had high cylinder temps.

My Velocity is too different to help with comparison. However:

I have not had very good luck with the airflow style of coolers. I had one in my 180 and 235, and had constand weeps, leaks, high temps, etc. (even after "repaired/Refurbished").

I switched to this style:  http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/positech.php
Have not had a single problem since in almost 1000 hrs. Temps are better, no leaks, etc.

Might help in the V as well.

Hi All

I'm thinking of replacing my oil cooler (FG) with a bigger one to get my oil

temps down during hot Texas days.

I dont have room in the whine compartment for a 2nd.

So my question is who makes the most efficient oil cooler or are they all about

the same?

I was looking to replace mine with a 2008x airflow.

Running an io360 200hp



Thanks for the thoughts
