Another question for you guys.

This is my first winter having my cub and I have a few questions about the oil temp.

I know that the combustion process creates moisture. I was told that the oil temp needs to reach 150-180 degrees to evaporate the moisture from the oil. My oil temp isn't getting over about 100 degrees in the cold weather.

I have the small hole in the cowling below the prop covered. I have the Oil tank and induction tubes covered.

I was told that some people are somehow blocking air from entering the eyebrow. I'm not sure how they are doing this.

Any recommendations to get my oil temp up?
