I went to all the trouble of add= ing a second oil cooler that only delayed the amount of time till it got ho= t, but cured nothing. My next step was going to be to check the verna= therm. To remove the vernatherm, I had to remove my oil filter adapte= r. Fortunately that was the case because I found the wrong gasket und= er the adapter, blocking most of the passage that sends oil to the cooler.&= nbsp; After I replaced it with the correct gasket, no more temp problems.&n= bsp; If you want to see pics and details, see http://www.n54sg.com/2011/01/second-= oil-cooler-upgrade/

Although, on warm = days, I wouldn't feel bad at all about taxing with temps around 200. = It might hit 210 in the climb, and drop below 200 after level off. At= Reno this year with race power/rpm it was a steady 230ish. No water = or anything. So at the end of the week I changed the oil, just to be = safe.
