I installed mine some years back when I couldnt get the temps hot enough in winter flying. Should be stock for all the 10s unless you never leave the desert SW, but even then in winter they can have problems getting the temps up high enough. grumpy N184JM do not archive > On Jul 3, 2016, at 11:23 AM, Alan Mekler MD wrote: > > > I just got a report card from Savvy.

If oil is between 180 and 220, corresponding to OAT and type of flying, then I wouldn't waste any effort to modify that. If you have a hard time keeping it at or above 180, then maybe the inlet needs to be reduced. That would help CHT by forcing more air through cylinder fins. IIRC most -10s were having issues with high oil temps until they switched to at least the 2006X cooler or larger. My temps with the 2006X have run 185 to 225, most in the 195-205 range, but I have mostly flown in 90s and triple digit OATs. Maybe I would consider the shutters in the future, but am reluctant to run another Bowden cable through the firewall, etc. 40866 Phase I complete, flying.
