  George Graham used a Setrab cooler in his airplane. I think Lynn uses
Setrab as well. I'm putting a Setrab in my RV-4.

Has George had good luck with his Setrab? I ask, because the consensus

on the RV list, is that these coolers are to lightly built. Several have
split open, causing engine fires in RVs. Does anyone know if Setrab has
redesigned their cooler, ala Positech?

Charlie what Positech part number is recommended?
They got some heavy duty oil coolers on there.

BTW Jerry I think you should put your oil cooler on the cool
side of the engine.

  Paul,

  First time I met you was at a SoCal fly-in at the Positech booth. We both
concluded that not only did Positech not have a cooler of sufficient size
for a 13B, but that the core was also very restrictive to airflow. From the
RV-list (hate to refer to them since I just bashed them in a previous
email) I believe the experience has been that Positech has been the poorest
performer (compared to Stewart Warner and Niagara).

Check their web site they have a load of coolers now.
Most for bulldozer and other heavy duty off road equipment.
Some are all steel and weigh well over 50 pounds.
