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.

Ok,ok, I'm crying uncle....

Really guys, I do understand how the engines work on the planes I fly.
Radial engines, on the other hand, I can only dream of getting to make
that kind of noise.
I was just trying to draw a distinction (with my poor wording) between
the two types so that I could ask my question, and from what I had
previously understood, the radial engines could often fly home clooled
by air if they lost oil. This, as compared to a C182, which doesn't
cool very well without it's oil.....
You guys are a great source of info-thanks for your comments, and
teaching me a few new things!
