Hey Guys,
I have a -4 with an O-320-D1A, 160hp and it consistantly runs cool...in the mid
to upper 160 degree F range. Can this cause any engine problems or damage...either
short or long term?

Lucky you, my 150HP ran over 225F oil temp for a year at cruise until I finally
fixed the problem. If you are really worried, move to Phoenix for a week in the
summer and see the alternative, or put a plate with small holes in it over
the cooler. Don't worry, be happy!

Does your engine have a Vernatherm valve incorporated in the oil screen
housing?
If not , then the oil circulated through the oil cooler all the time. The
Vernatherm opens when the oil heats up,and lets it circulate through the
cooler,then closes when the oil cools down.
The oil could run so cool in cold weather that circulation would be inhibited.

Hey all -- I'm a Pitts driver but with a similar issue re: engine too cool
in the winter -- I have heard about duct tape around the oil cooler, but
has anyone actually done this? If so, how much duct tape and where exactly
do you place it?
Thanks --
