My oil temp is running 210 -212 f. at cruise 8,500 @65-70 degrees F OAT. I have the straight bottom cowl without the lower scoop, so I cannot put my oil cooler up front. It is located where the battery should go on the firewall. If somebody has a cure to make this cooler without my putting another oil cooler on I would be so happy.

If Vans can pack the box with both root ends on one end and that end of the box is loaded towards the cab, you should have no problem. It will be difficult to handle however with all the weight at one end. Follow the suggetion to hang a light on the end and red flags for the day and don't back into anyone or let them get too close.

We have 3 200 hp RV8's in the area and all of us have cut in additional exit air louvers. -----Original Message----- From: DENISE CAINE [mailto:denisecaine@msn.com] Subject: RV8-List: oil coolers --> RV8-List message posted by: "DENISE CAINE" I have 26.5 hours on my RV-8 with a lycoming 200hp Hartzell constant speed prop.
