Hi all,
The other day I had to remove the lines "to" and "from" of the oil cooler, at the oil cooler, in order to access the bolts of the vacuum pump. The line "from" was surprisingly empty and dry. When i removed the "to" line, some oil flowed down the cooler from the "from", not surprisingly.
Now that I have put back everything in order and test flight the plane, I get significantly lower and abnormally low oil temps (140's vs. 165 before + significantly longer time to warm up)...
Does anyone have an explanation?
Also, what is the easiest solution to make the oil cooler less effective?
Thank you very much
