[FC] Oil Cooler

[Patten Del R Civ AFRL Det 8/PKMA]

The studs go through a hole rather than a slot so there is supposedly more

Just made us think what else is in that engine!!  I retire in 4 days and
will have time to find out!

I can't imagine that 60 cylinders would be easy to cool but the crankshaft 
must be a marvel!  Is this a corncob radial?
