So fussing ab out trying to cool the oil some way is possibly looking at the wrong issue. Also, looking at Ly-cons is not helpful. There is some way to flow air better, even while taxiing. Beware of "fixes" for problems that are best solved by airflow. That includes the water cooled heads, "better" carbs and huge oil coolers.

I pulled the SI 8 and read through it and call my dealer. It would cost me about 1K to install the hollow pushrods and lifters, plus it would put me down for a while. I'm not sure of the benefi t. Lycoming and Cont has been doing it that way for fifty-sixty years. It mak e sense to use the oil to take away the heat from the heads. Has anybody installed the hollow push rods. I'm just coming up to five hours on my engine and still battling the heatin g problem. I'm a 1/2" from the ends of the runway and have to shut the engin e off at the ends as the temp come up to 302 by the time I get there and the oil temp are below 104.
