Does anyone have any pictures or plan I might look at? I have my oil cooler blocked with aluminum tape and also restricted the cowl inlets approximately one third. Finally got my oil heated up to 185 F. Without the cowl inlets restricted, can only get about 120 F on the oil. Not sure whether to restrict the inlet or outlet flow. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't take much time (boiling water, sensor in an ice cube/bath) to make sure your numbers are correct.
