 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
