Tom
Another way to cover the holes would be to extend the baffle material
downwards to cover the hole. 1/2" larger should work fine - the
pressure will keep it covering the hole in flight

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!

Ralph,
I mounted the oil cooler shutter on the baffle-mounted oil cooler, and another
as an alternate air bypass on the bottom of the air cleaner. I have photos of
the air filter one but not the oil cooler. I could get photos without too much
trouble if you need them.
Here is a link to the photos of the air filter shutter installation: http://tcwatson.zenfolio.com/p288537335/e31f70275
It hasn't flown yet but I think the shutters will work well in both locations.

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

Check the van's catelog. They have a oil cooler door that works from the c
ockpit. They call it the oil cooler vent and/or oil shutter. It works qui
te well.

I have the van's oil cooler shutter and this weekend with it completely
closed with OAT of 20 degrees I was only getting between 140-150 degrees
oil temp on a one hour flight. I'll see if I can find my pictures. I
take it completely off in the hot months and usually see about 170-190.

I've got a -7 near Seattle that I'm always looking for an excuse to fly. I
love it. Not for sale, though.
Well, I guess anything is for sale....Not. Good luck finding a good one.
They're fantastic airplanes.
Do not archive.
