Can we conclude from kodioneill's observations of 240 at tank and trombone oil lines that the bulk of the cooling takes place at the main engine cooler? In other words, does the external cooler only augment the engine mounted cooler rather than providing about equal heat exchange?

I believe it does from my experience...the trombone doesn't do much at high ambient temps. Hardly made a diff in my engine temp after the initial dumping of colder unheated oil into the system...then jumped right up after that was hot.
If you change it out to a latter Carrera radiator/block off and fan then it does a great job. Night and day difference.
