I'm thinking of just making a coil around motor with aluminum tubing...would copper be better?...easier to bend

be pretty nice if you could devise some way of making a slightly bigger can to fit around the fins and sealing the ends with o-rings and sealant like on the smooth can coolers where the water actually flows over the motor

Try this from www.fastelectrics.com

edit: I posted without reading your last paragraph & I now assume you have a finned can? They do a larger one that may fit over fins although I doubt it would be effective even if it did

The fins on the can prevent full contact with the cooling jacket & trap hot air inbetween the fins which then expands, pushing the cooling jacket further away...etc
