wouldn't worry too much about 200 degree oil temps while running at
full throttle. I see that on a regular basis on climb out after take
off. In the early days, I saw 240 a few times, but it didn't seem to
cause any damage. Perhaps 240 for long periods might be a different
story, but 200 seems to be within the normal range. I'd like to know
what the RX-7 oil temps run on a 90+ day sitting in traffic. Probably
would scare you.
Guys,
190° F is a normal oil temp for many engines. For best power you
might need to run a little cooler. 200 is OK. I wouldn't want to see more than
230 for a long time. 180 is about a minimum to get into the range where you will
boil off the water that condenses after running.
