I took a lot of pictures of baffles and oil coolers last year at Oshkosh looking for ways to improve cooling. Here's a picture of what I have been told is typical baffling for a Continental engine. I like the idea of putting the baffle seal at an angle to eliminate some of the geometry issues from bending the seal to about a 90 degree angle. It would seem to make the corners a little easier and tighter too.
Has anyone tried this? If so, what was learned? Is there an easy way to make some 45 degree additions to existing baffles?
