I wrote a month ago about an oil temp issue. This is an update.
I live near atlanta and I have a 1976 aa5b O-360 with 300 SMOH that
I have owned since march. Since the weather has warmed up my oil
temps have been running about 1.5 to 2 needle widths from the red-
line. The things I have done to try to resolve this issue are:
I replaced baffle seals.
I fixed the inter cylinder baffles that were not wired together.
We just recently pulled the vernatherm and it looked to be seated
correctly and operated as expected when we checked it.
We also checked the gauge. Unfortunately it seems to reading low not
high! We are now checking the timing.
The only thing I can think of left is the Oil cooler. Which brings me
to this question.
What are my options? I think i am just going to go with a new oil
cooler rather than re-condition. Are there any STC's for a larger
cooler and if so can someone send me that info? Have any of you guys
had field approvals for a different cooler?
