However it is worth thinking about the siting of the additional cooler; is it reducing the airflow over the engine or even the rectifier? If so you might lose some or all of the potential advantages.
Have found my 944 runs significantly cooler but so far with no sign of the oil emulsifying.

Thats why I have got the later fairings with the additional air deflector to the vertical cylinder, and as Mark pointed out am also making ducts from the small grilles at the front.
