carusoam Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Alex, your thinking extra hard tonight... I never heard of an oil cooler causing a problem as a radiator..... Until, I was researching IO550s prior to purchase.... TCM had a few plumbing issues in Mooneys and Cirri (mid 90s)... cooling fluid (oil) was draining out of their broken radiators.

aaronk25 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Show me one VW TDI from 2009. .196!http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/File:Vw_09_jetta_tdi_2.0l_bsfc.JPGSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 That’s great in a car but for 80 years now, since the Packard diesel, nobody has produced a reliable aero Diesel engine. The Theilert was a almost-have, but the gearbox Inspecrions that cost 35k every few hundred hours cost so much people pulled them off and put on Lycoming Engines.

Our oil coolers are radiators. They are also vital. You get a big leak, you lose oil. Engine locks up. Whats the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex, My second sentence of the response is an example of IO550 oil radiator issue that occurred back in the 90s. The oil cooler broke, and leaked the engine oil, leading to an off Airport landing... There were a lot of IO550 related oil cooler problems at the time. (More Including in Cirri) I don’t see much of a difference between oil or water cooling. Leakage is going to be bad... The oil cooler on the IO550 is very close to the engine block and minimizes the plumbing. Only A small step in the right direction. having a second cooling system, sounds like twice the opportunity for a leak... hard to judge...

Dream to fly Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 It seems that technology is far beyond the grasps of some. I am so sorry I asked the question. In my wildest dreams I never thought that there would be so much push back from something we all love to do which is fly. All my attempt was trying to do is gather enough people to make change. My mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone like to form a group that pushes our Mooney planes forward into new technology? Maybe we could meet in the Midwest at some fly-in diner and brainstorm and see what materializes. Nothing like bucking the system and forcing change. Reminder of the starting point of Joe’s thread.... MS on a Saturday...
