Not what I would want I am curious to see what the build-time record will be on the RV-14. Sounds like an easy build: final punched holes (do they even need to debur?), complete plans, complete wiring kit, complete avionics modules, ready to install baffling, ready to install transparencies, etc. etc. etc. Jae -- #40533 RV-10 First flight 10/19/2011 Phase 1 Done 11/26/2011 do not archive ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:00:35 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: re: From: dsyvert@aol.com http://www.aminatex.com/includes/surprise.php?pmozfvmrt711ajdh -------- Democracy is also a form of worship.

My # 6 cylinder ran 20-30 degrees hotter than any of the other. On hot (AZ) summer day's, I had to pay close attention to keep the Cyl temp under 420-430 deg on climbs. 2. my oil temps would also exceed 220 on long climbs to altitude and during the middle of summer if the OAT didn't get below 70F degs, the Oil Temp would stay above 200. Even on 'cooler days' it would rarely go below 196. So I fabricated a fiberglass intake that replaces to the slot cover in the lower cowl in front of the nose gear. and plumbed it to the Oil Cooler (in the same std location). I plugged the old 4" opening behind the # 6 cyl. The results after a couple of flights look encouraging. The #6 cyl, is now in line with the other cyls. (12 deg spread across all cyls). Last weekon a trip from DVT to SLC, in cruise the oil temp never got above 165 degrees. the OAT @ 10-11k was 0 to -4 C. So I'm a bit worried that the oil temps are now too cool. I've been of the opinion that the ideal oil temp is aprox 180 deg in order to cook off any moisture in the oil. So I'm wondering if I need to put a valve in-line somewhere to help regulate the oil temps. Any feedback is appreciated.

Another option for oil cooler control is to place a hinge d flap on the back side of the oil cooler. I have one with my new cowl set up that closes off up to 60% of the oil cooler and has allowed me to gain m uch control. Only 60% due to motor mount conflict (yours may be different) but it seems to be all the control I need. I have also had the butterfly v ersion on other aircraft and generally prefer that solution mostly due to n o additional room is required FWF. But this hinged flap was a simple soluti on that worked with my current control cable set up and functions well. If I lived in UT I would opt for 100% closure (and a good realtor) :-) Robin Sent from the new iPad On Mar 25, 2013, at 9:50 PM, "Seano" > wrote: I believe nonstop aviation makes the oil cooler butterfly valves.

I think you are fine on oil temp. Remember that the temp sensor is at the return line from the oil cooler, and temps in the sump can run as much as 50 degrees hotter.
