I live in Alabama so we don't have really cold temps a lot. But last summer I bought the Van's winterization kit and put it together recently. Today it is really cold so I installed the part to block off part of the radiator. I went flying expecting to feet some real heat was didn't get it. It was 28 degrees on the ground, 16 degrees at 3,000 msl. All I got was cool air. Here is a picture of the Dynon showing the temps at 3,000 ft. I am wondering if it was just too cold to get real heat from this mod. What have others experienced with the Van's Winderization Kit?
I didn't use the plate to block the oil cooler since my engine has the oil thermostat on it.
