Default question about engines

In article om,
says...


Ok,this is probably an obvious question to many of you, but I'll ask
anyway. I usually fly in C172s and C182s with the Lycoming oil cooled
engines that many of you are probably familiar with.


Oil cooled?
Not familiar - these are air cooled engines.

Yes they do depend on oil flow for some cooling - and they also depend
on fuel flow for some degree of cooling - but they are essentially
air-cooled engines.
