I have a Kitfox and my problem is that the oil temp is too cool. When I
first bought the aircraft the prior owner had a large soft aluminum sheet
with fins (about 3/8 inch fins) wrapped around the oil tank acting as a heat
sink. It was attached by two large hose clamps. I removed it as it was
drawing too much heat out of the oil. I have seen these things used around oil
filters in cars to cool the oil. I don't have a clue is to what they are
called or where to get them but it might be worth a shot to try it. It looks
to be rather inexpensive and was pretty effective on my airplane. In my
case the large oil cooler is more than enough
You might try a goggle search and see what you come up with or maybe
another member would know what they are called. Might be a cheap fix to reduce
some heat.
Good luck,
Dick
