My thanks to all for posting pictures and information. I have learned a lot. From looking at the -8 pics I think I see why ading a spacer between the baffle and the cooler helps. It gives the air more time to turn the corner past the cylinder into the lower part of the oil cooler.

Like I said earlier, I don't have cooling problems as long as I shift to a cruise climb in high ambient temps but the experimenter in me wants to try and lower temps a little. The wider cooler also makes sense.

George,

Thanks for your pointers. I'm starting an RV7 and will use the SW oil cooler. What cooler kit do you recommend in place of the VANs?

Default 4215 Oil Cooler

I looked through the packing list for the FWF kit for my RV-8 and the cooler is listed as "Oil Cooler 4215 Oil Cooler for IO-360." I posted a picture earlier of it. Is that the same as the "EA OIL COOLER II" listed at Vans?

Is that the same as the Aircraft Spruce 08-00740?
