So guys, here?s how I finally fixed my high oil temperature problem? I added a second oil cooler made by Aero Classics on the passenger side of the airplane in series and placed dual 2 inch ducts off of the Plenum over number three cylinder to cool it. Now my oil temperatures in the Texas heat that I was flying in today don?t get any higher than 207?. I will still do the jumpers on my dual Emags and re-time.

Finally have the engine "flight ready", and since it's never going to be this clean again I figured I'd post pictures. This shows the hinge installation well. Takes about 10 seconds to get the lid off and 5 minutes to get it back on.

Wow...nice work Michael!!
|
Thanks. Let's hope it cools as well in the real world as it does in my mind! :)

How did you make the intakes? Very nice work!
|
The intakes are hand layups of carbon over tooling foam. I added the rings and inner ducts after the main plenum was complete. Kind of a kludge, actually. I changed directions a few times before I got here. Fortunately, with composites you can just cut out the parts you don't like and still look like a hero!
...but thank you! |
