I have a front mount oil cooler in the nosebowl on my skybolt. I was told it would run cooler if I adder a scoop or a eyebrow on it to force more air through the cooler. Has anyone done this on their bolt? Any pictures soI have an idea before I build something? I peg the 100 celcius oil temp guage, thats all it reads. My cylinder head temps are 300 or less. Would the cylinder temp be way high if iol temp is getting hot or not? I notice these 100 celcius 3 in one guages are in alot of bolts. Kinda stupid Lycoming redline is 250f, 100c is only 212f. Any input would be great.
