Matt,
You may have checked this already, but is the oil temperature reading correctly?
 220 deg F should not be too hot if all the components in the system are
adjusted properly.  You should be able to go to red line on the oil without a
problem.
Before I put my oil temp probe in the plane I checked it against an electronic
thermometer in heated oil (The electronic thermometer was checked in boiling
water first).  Above 200 degrees the reading started diverging and reading high.
 A free probe replacement brought the temperatures back in line.  Three years
later it seemed the oil temperature was reading higher than normal and again I
checked the calibration.  Sure enough, at 180 deg it was reading 200, at 245
(red line) it was reading 280.  Adjusting a potentiometer inside the gauge
solved this problem.
Good luck.
