Hey, what size oil cooler to the RV-10's use? Is it the same on on the -7's and -8's? "Oil Cooler II". Or, do they use a larger one?
I've got a SW10610R for my IO-390 on the RV-8 which is a monster sized cooler. The stock "FF-709" mounting bracket is way too small. Does Van's have a larger one available? What's used on the RV-10?
I guess that I could make one, but I'd rather Van's CNC punch did, if you know what I mean...?
Thanks!

Matt,
I used the SW 10631S oil cooler, remotely mounted it, and it is holding the oil temp on my IO-390 at 180-183 (the ideal range according to Lyc).
Photos enclosed.

Hey Matt -
the oil cooler on the 10 mounts on the firewall - There's a specific
mount that comes with the firewall forward kit. Not sure which exact
oil cooler it is, but I'm pretty sure that the 8 can't use the mount.
There's a picture of it here on my site:

Matt,
I upgraded my -10 oil cooler to the extra large AFP 2008 which
left me with the RV-10 oil cooler I plan to use on my 8A. You do not
want the RV-10 oil cooler mount for your 8 project. It is one of the
worst designed components on the -10. The "wedge" as it is known does
not allow for airflow over the entire surface of the cooler fins
creating dead spots and much less efficient cooling system. I believe
AFP now sells diverter fins for the wedge but you are better off
creating a direct ram impact mount or the like to properly take
advantage of the oil cooler.
Robin

When I built my RV8, I attempted to use the SW cooler recommended by vans,
however it was inadequate. Upon advice of Monty Barrette, and Dave Anders
(still the fastest RV) I obtained a Niagara/Harrison 10 cooler and mounted
it on the rear baffle behind cyl 4 and tilted it down approximately 35
degrees (tilt as much as possible without contacting engine mount) (it will
be necessary to remove some metal from the flange on the cooler to prevent
contact with engine mount tube). This set up has proven to be excellent
providing good cooling in all temperatures up to 95 degrees outside air
including the Air Venture races when I run at 100 percent of power at low
altitude for over 2 hours (2700 rpm, 27-29 inch manifold pressure) average
indicated airspeeds are 220-235mph depending on OAT.

Thanks for the feedback Richard. Do you have some pictures of your installation you could post to the Lists?
BTW, your computer clock is 5 days behind.
