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

Re: high oil pressure and coolers
>How
many people are running stock 2nd or 3rd gen coolers, and have temps under
210?
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.
