John,

I’m interested to see what your oil temperature is.  I’m surprised that you didn’t find that issue with measuring water temperature instead of oil when I found that mine was wrong.   At first, I thought that my oil temperature was about 185 F, which was less than my coolant temperature (measured at the water pump).  When I moved the oil temperature sensor so it was measuring oil, I found that it was about 30 degrees F hotter than I had previously thought. 

 

Who would have thought that the temperature sensor 1” away from the oil pressure sensor would be coolant ?

 

Regards,

Steve Brooks

I'm running two 3rd gen coolers. I'm not sure of the temps yet, but nothing broke (inside the engine that is) in 8 hrs of flying with some fairly high power settings.
