I measure all my temps on my 400HP V-8

I flow coolant at about 1 change per 4 seconds and my water delta always runs 12-14f.. Oil is a bit larger at 20f... But I don't like cool oil.. I shoot for  230 in the oil pan and about 210 coming back out of the cooler...  YMMV.
These are inflight numbers though.. Ground running can give false numbers. IMHO

Subject: [FlyRotary] First time run with Prop Load

Hi Guys

I put the prop on the Glasair today and ran it with a load for the first time!
Smother running and seams to be cooling thus far with 82F OAT.
Again - big thanks Tracy for making this possible.
What pressure do you guys have in your fuel rails, ours is a fixed regulator.

I’m in the garage at home so not taking the engine past 2400 RPM.
Cant wait to get it down to our hangar and run it up properly!
 
Do you guys measure in and out of your coolers?
I’m getting a delta of about 13F on the oil cooler and very little on the water.
Any wisdom, or data?

Thanks
