Paul,
 Clever......
 Interesting idea using an intercooler core mounted in the pan.
 You know I use one of these to cool the oil on the R2000 yak. It
 is very
 efficient and the core's aren't all that expensive.

 $400 for a 10 x 10 x 3.5 tall core. could fine one cheaper, but the
 bell
 units are very good quality.
 I really like the "no plumbing" aspect of this.

 Maybe that is the low cost way to do it. I had not thought
 of an intercooler core. One advantage is there is no oil
 pressure in the heat exchanger. Could save some space under
 the cowl.

Hi Paul,

What if... instead of a full width intercooler being fed cooling air
from one side only, we arranged two narrower intercoolers and fed
cool air into the center, like this.  Or.... feed it from the bottom
along the entire length of the slot.

Chris Cosman

Brilliant idea Chris.
