I agree from personal experience Paul. My rad is under the engine, the
only possible
place to put it.  I put an exit duct on the rad and the cooling went to
hell, had to remove it and leave it open to the breeze.
I now have big louvres on the upper cowl above the oil cooler, so it's
probably about as good as it's going to get for the oil.

I forgot to mention yours Perry. Sorry.


BTW Perry is using a tiny water rad compared to all other rotary
installations I have seen so far. My guess is about 13 by 15 by 1.75.
What are the dimensions Perry.

   Paul and Perry,

       It appears that Perry's radiator is a two pass version. If so would
 this have any bearing on its cooling ability (considering its size)?

The Jury is still out on that two pass stuff. One neat thing is is
easier to plumb :-)
