Hi All-
I am working on installing the oil cooler on the #4 cylinder aft baffle. I have read several posts on reinforcing the area to hopefully avoid any cracking. My question comes from a statement in the instructions. It says to mount the oil cooler as high as possible, but keep at least a half inch of clearance to the cowling. When I do this, the bottom of the oil cooler ends up about 5/8" below the level of the cylinder cooling fins. Should I cut the air hole in the baffle to stop at the level of the cooling fin on the cylinder, or make the cut to the bottom of the oil cooler. I am not sure if that will effect cooling on either the cylinder or the oil?
