Subject: Oil Temperatures

On my LNC2 with an O-320 I have to close the oil cooler air door in the=20=

winter to see 170=B0s. Normally I run at 170 to 180=B0s. The highest =
that I=20
have ever seen is 215=B0.

Regarding high oil temps: My mechanic said that he saw a production=20
plane that the temps were so high on and that had everything done to=20
lower them that the owner was going to rebuild the engine. The mechanic=20=

found that the vernatherm was not seating.

I don't know about Continental but he says that Lycoming has a special=20=

tool that can be obtained from them that will re-reem the vernatherm=20
seat. This fixed the high oil temperature problem.
