Why go to all the plumbing hassles, use electric heat, cheaper, lighter,
safer....

I don't have heat inside my canard plane. Now am considering piping
hot engine oil to the cabin through a small oil cooler with a blower.
I am looking at a Harley Dyna oil cooler - about the right size. My
question is whether such a cooler will stand the typical aircraft oil
pressure. My engine oil pressure goes up to about 80 psi when cold
then goes down to about 60 psi. I have seen Harleys with oil cooler
pressure gauges 60psi. But shouldn't they have an extra safety stress
factor?

Any bike experts out there?

I already had an engine heat exchanger with the fan there that I tried
but there was too much CO coming through - so I removed the air
plumbing.

That same cooler is sold for other bikes that have higher oil pressure.
Harleys usually only have 4 or 5 PSI oil pressure because the roller
bottom end doesn't need pressure only volume. My local VW shop has plate
type oil coolers much cheaper than the Harley ones. It wouldn't hurt to
check out your local VW shops and auto parts stores then there's always
aircooled.net .
