We have done 2 different runs with a datalogger attached and have some 
very good data on the stock vair fan . CHT were quite reasonable and oil 
temps were as a number of people have reported. I have all the data.

The problem happened we were to swap out the stock fan for the electric.
Hopefully it can be resolved and the tests be finished.
