  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.
