Kelly,
After reading Al's post, I need to make a clarification on my previous oil temp
information. The 245* temps were after the cooler,
at the oil filter pad, so who knows what they were coming out of the
engine.
Mark;
It’s likely that the temps in the pan weren’t a lot higher, because
the reason the temps after the cooler were so high is that the cooler was
ineffective – meaning that the temp drop across the cooler was only 10-15
degrees.
Over the last year
I've instrumented my oil & water cooling systems so many different ways
that I sometimes get confused as to what I'm reading on the EFIS &
EM-2. Presently, I'm taking oil temp readings after the first
oil/air cooler, then after the oil/water exchanger (as the oil enters the
engine). I do this to monitor how well each of the oil coolers are
working. Sorry for the confusion.
Tell
me more about your oil/coolant exchanger setup. In series or parallel on
each side? Coolant side on return leg after radiator? Typical temps
before and after each cooler? Dimensions of the cooler?
Thanks,
Al
