I have exhausted all my ideas and the mechanics ideas on how to reduce the oil temperatures on my -7a
Here's the facts
-IO-360A3B6D 200hp 850 SMOH out of Mooney and has been run 6 hours on test stand with clean bill of health
-Van's FWF kit including oil cooler
-Oil Cooler mounted as per plans at rear baffle (pilot side)
-Temperatures running upto 255F
-Oil Pressure at 65#
-Running 6.5 gallons of break in oil (mechanic said that reg oil will help upto 5 deg F cooler
I have done the following:
-replaced and calibrated oil temp sender and guage
-replaced vernatherm
-Changed hoses to and from oil cooler
-enlarged out flow by cutting 1.5 inches off bottom cowl outlet
-installed louvers at cowl outlet
all the above seen no changes in temps
My mechanic and I are scratching our heads and looking for the solution(s).
Appreciate your help
