| Subject: | Van's oil cooler shutter |
Anyone have one of these on their baffle behind the #4 cylinder?
Would like to see pictures - hear your story.
My Vernatherm and oil temp sender are both good - my oil temp runs too cold in
the winter.
My IO360B1F6 with SW 8406R cooler gives me a straight-line 185F degree oil temp
in the summer (OAT over 65F) - but won't make 150F in the lower OAT ranges.
We get some weird temperature ranges here on the DelMarVa peninsula so a fixed
block-off plate inside my plenum doesn't make sense - like this cockpit controllable
unit.
Thanks in advance!

Just flew back from California to Topeka, Ks.- Outside departure temp was
19 when I left Topeka and arrival temp was 12.- I flew at 10,500 and 9,5
00 over the rockies.- My oat temp was never above 28 F however the sensor
is in the cabin air inlet area and I'm told it reads high due to the engin
e heat.- But, I was able to very the oil temp between 160 and 180 the ent
ire way.- It works!- If you want some pix I'll send them (they're still
in the camera).- Installation was easy as was the cable routing.- I wo
uld do it again in a heart beat.- And, no. I'm not going to mention the t
emperature in Southern California!!!=0A=0ASteve Stucky=0ARV-7=0A=0A=0A_____

I installed there shutter system and it works OK.
I am in Maine and had the same problem. On a day around 20 it will get-oil
temp- about 170F at cruise- fixed pitch prop 2400 rpm @ 3000 alt or so. I
have not seen temp below that as it is to cold for me.
For where you are I would expect it to work.

Yes. Mine is mounted on the baffle between the oil cooler and the baffle and it
works great. I originally mounted it on the back side of the oil cooler and that
was not nearly as effective. Granted we do not have the extreme low temperatures
that you folks in the east have to contend with but my engine runs particularly
cool and I could not get oil temps above 160 F in the cold months before
installing the shutter.
