Thanks for the info. I could not find the paper back stuff, but hopefully this works, and I hope the adhesive does not end up nasty.
My local engineer here that services my plane advised to only put a strip on the oil cooler and see how it goes first. I couldn't believe that in 20c temps, the oil would still not get above 75!
Anyways... I will report back once the weather allows for another fly. :)
Thanks for all of your help, it's much appreciated.
John, How did the tape fix work? I have the same problem in winter time North Carolina.
Roger, are there any Rotax friendly suction side oil thermostats which are calibrated around 200* F? By the way, thanks on your advice regarding the propeller pitch last year.
The tape did it's job. I could not test much as we have been in our warmer months, but as it's cooling down over here now, I will get more chances to test this.
I can install the oil thermostat, but that's just another possible point of failure, so will see how the tape fairs when it cools down a bit.
