I wish that there was a great answer for the oil temp question.
The failure
from over temp oil is a rotor bearing loss. Why? It has the
highest stress on
the bearing overlay.
As always, a rotary
education in every email :-) This is the first time someone has actually
explained the reason for the oil temp recommendations, and it finally makes
sense.
If the numbers you're
quoting are in the pan, then I guess seeing temps in the 220-230 range after the
cooler is probably aiming for the devils favorite chair. I'll just
keep 210 after the cooler as a hard limit, to be exceeded only if there's some
sort of emergency situation.
Thanks again for the
awesome message. I always feel guilty asking you questions, because I know
you'll spend the time to write long complete replies. If you ever decide
to write a book, I'll be in line for the first
copy.
Thanks
again,
Rusty (dead center of
Ivan prediction, but my personal prediction is that it's going to
continue West)
