    I agree, that was one of the options I looked into, unfortunately it's not as easy as just getting a new cowl... I would need a whole new firewall forward!

    looking at the front of your plane, half the oil cooler is blocked. my answer is what I did with mine. cut the opening to give full flow threw the oil cooler. I did that with mine and did wonders. just cut the cowl. smooth the edges. it will do the oil good. also get extra air in there for the heads.

    Sure looks like that would be a easier fix than adding another oil cooler , cheaper to.
