O-235-C1 questions please

Thanks. Different than mine, which I think might be homemade

yes, thanks Sully!

that's odd as hell! I wonder how many of those places still have the O-235's and have that cooler shroud still in place.

I wonder what B&C would say if you asked about replacing it with their filter adapter.

It's held on with the oil temp probe too.... What a pain that is. I would be putting a filter adapter on that engine.

If it's homemade, it might be worth discussing what engine problems will cause oil temps to run high. Just so you have things to be on the lookout for when you run the engine.

O-235 was certified without an oil cooler. Their oil temps do run a little hotter because of it. I wouldn't worry about it initially.

I know guys with Cubs that have installed oil coolers. But no idea whether it was field approval or what.

If you do go with a filter (recommended) air wolf makes a cooling fin that slips over the filter for additional cooling. I bet there's others.
