Yes I attached a Fluke thermocouple meter next to the thermistor and
heated them with a heat gun. It read the same on the meter and the
Advanced Fight EFIS within 10 degrees.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Wayne,
Have you verified the temperature indicating components are accurate?
I would make sure that a bench test confirms their accuracy before going
to the next step.

With about 9 hours on my 9A I cant get the oil any hotter than 170
F and to do that I have to block off all the air flow to the cooler. I
am about to try insulating the oil lines.
I tried necking down the outlet air under the cowl . It started as
about 110 percent of the inlet area size and is now 92 percent . The
preliminary result is slightly cooler CHTs and EGTs and it goes 7 kts
faster. More testing is required when the weather breaks. The goal of
warming the oil more did not happen.
Any suggestions?
