Hi Eric,

 

Regarding your high oil temperature, the first thing I'd do is unscrew the oil temperature sensor from the engine and put it in a tin can half full of water.  Heat the bottom of the can with a propane torch or electric heat gun until the water is boiling and then confirm that your temperature reading is close to 212°F (if you're near sea level).  That way, you know if it's a gauge problem or a temperature problem.

 

Good luck,

Dennis
