Capen" Subject: RV-List: 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!

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.

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.
