Hi guys, I'm a non builder. My 8 has an ECI IO 360. Three days ago, I was up at altitude, and my oil temp was only 137*. (OAT was 34*F) A number of years back, I had one of those oil cooler shutters installed in back of my oil cooler. Didn't do any good. Last winter, I asked my mechanic if he could install in front of the cooler. Turns out, it wouldn't fit. So last night, I sent an email to Allen at Anti splat, and asked him if he could make me a custom one that "does" fit. He said Nope, wrong machinery in his shop. So for the last coupla years, I've been putting metallic tape on the front of as much of the cooler as I can squeeze my fingers down, behind the #4 cylinder. So the obvious question is---any of you guys got any ideas??
Luckily, I live in Atlanta, where it generally doesn't get too cold. If I lived in Milwaukee, where I grew up, zero to 17* F is not uncommon.
