    Clipper Oil Well Cooling Baffle Assy

    Have a Clipper with the O-235-C1 Engine, was wondering if anyone had a picture of/info related to the cooling blast baffle, P/N 11951 that sits over the engine oil well/oil temp sensor bulb housing.

    Looked through drawings and photos online, cant see if the baffle is attached in any way to the well.

    Mine was glued on with high temp silicone, not thinking that was the way it was intended to be.

    Appreciate any pics, info to share. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Don't have a picture handy but will look. Here are some interesting revelations on that blast tube.

    There was a thread a while back on the SWPC website about blast tubes on the oil temperature probe and if it actually dropped the oil temperature or fooled the oil temperature indicator. The Clipper has this blast tube arrangement on the oil temperature probe. I can't remember if the Vagabond or Colt has it or not. A friend of mine did some tests in his O-200 powered J3 that he competes in STOL contests with. Interesting results.
