"I understand your oil cooling problem. When I first started flying I
was
having oil temps of 240+. This is how I found out my Lyc IO360 would
stop
running with oil temps above 240.I also had CHTs averaging about 380 and
problems melting the electrical leads to the coils to the Lightspeed
ignition."

This is scary, the Lyc quit running with oil temp above 240?

Aircraft engines in Cozy's usually only have a small oil cooler
so maybe oil temp is about the same in the pan as going into
engine, not sure where they measure oil temp.  My oil temp
can go to 230 going into engine on a hot day, but I try to
keep it below 220, and prefer 210.
