Ray,Thank you for the response. My cowling is obviously different than your
s but I could modify but have already made new intake on side of lower cowl
. My lower cowling is so tight that the previous owner just cut hole in low
er right to clear #1 cyl exhaust pipe. I modified pipe and glassed a stream
lined bulge before painting which came out quite well.My email is asandul@y
ahoo.com.Any and all pics would be appreciated. Can't believe your oil temp
s are so low with ambient temps so high. You obviously got the cooling air
right.Alan

With the inlet duct already on the lower cowl you should be able to
mount the cooler like I did, between the gear brackets very close up to
the firewall. It is actually mounted on the firewall using a homemade
bracket from 1/8 al. sheet.
More later.

Ray and Alan,
I can't help but think that others might like to see the pictures you
both have of your cowl and cooling modifications. Can they be posted to
allow all to see them?

The duct covers the bottom of the oil pan then splits in to 2 each 2.25
dia. ducts to go around the nose gear attach point to the rubber bumper
and then into the oil cooler. The cooler is mounted between the brackets
that the nose gear pivot mounts to. It is as low as I can get it and
still clear the nose gear if there was a hard landing on the nose wheel.
I have no exit duct. I live in the desert where summer temps reach 120F.
Oil temp never reaches 210 on a hard climb out. Usually about 7 minutes
at 1000 ft/min. to climb out of the desert floor and over the mountains.
The cooler is the biggest I can get between the brackets. I can check on
the model & mfg next time at the hanger.

I am not sure what good my pictures would do for anyone else but a Jab 3300
install. Even that would be stretch because everything forward of the
firewall in not Pulsar.

Ray and Alan,
I can't help but think that others might like to see the pictures you both
have of your cowl and cooling modifications. Can they be posted to allow
all to see them?

With the inlet duct already on the lower cowl you should be able to mount
the cooler like I did, between the gear brackets very close up to the
firewall. It is actually mounted on the firewall using a homemade bracket
from 1/8 al. sheet.
More later.

Ray,
Thank you for the response. My cowling is obviously different than yours but
I could modify but have already made new intake on side of lower cowl. My
lower cowling is so tight that the previous owner just cut hole in lower
right to clear #1 cyl exhaust pipe. I modified pipe and glassed a
streamlined bulge before painting which came out quite well.
My email is asandul@yahoo.com.
Any and all pics would be appreciated. Can't believe your oil temps are so
low with ambient temps so high. You obviously got the cooling air right.

End me your personal e-mail and then I can send you some pictures, Alan.
I have a duct that comes from the inlet under the nose. Now yours may not
have that opening since my cowl is special. Not a Pulsar made item.
The opening has a butterfly valve that I can control from the cockpit. The
duct covers the bottom of the oil pan then splits in to 2 each 2.25 dia.
ducts to go around the nose gear attach point to the rubber bumper and then
into the oil cooler. The cooler is mounted between the brackets that the
nose gear pivot mounts to. It is as low as I can get it and still clear the
nose gear if there was a hard landing on the nose wheel. I have no exit
duct. I live in the desert where summer temps reach 120F. Oil temp never
reaches 210 on a hard climb out. Usually about 7 minutes at 1000 ft/min. to

Ray,
Was busy today and couldn't reply but seems the question about the screws
coming loose was answered. Never had a problem with the screw coming loose
but wouldn't even use a mild loctite as the rubber insert will come loose
once the rubber relieves tension and will spin in the hole making it
difficult to remove the screw. Note that the flange portion of the insert is
not as thin as I would like and the cowling doesn't sit as flush with the
fuse as I would like but is not noticeable.
The engine oil cooler is mounted on stbd side on engine mount with about 3"
forward of firewall as when I purchased aircraft with no cool air intake.

If you or anyone has any info/suggestions I would greatly appreciate before
I start fab of exit shroud. Was planning to make shroud out of alum,same as

Or possibly I'm going totally in the wrong direction. I have aircraft in my
