ok, So I want to go to a local get together...probably about an hour or so away. How hot should my oil temp be getting?? After about thirty minutes or so, the oil temps start approaching around 215. I have a feeling that is to hot. We usually shut the engine off and let it cool down. It seems to run great. We stopped by britt (bd1308)s house, and he said it was running really good. It Idles at about 900RPMs, and runs great all the way up to 6000RPM. I have checked all the engine tin. There are a few gaps in it, but nothing really large..maybe a quarter inch or so... could leaking heat exchagers cause it to overheat too?? You would think I would learn something after being here for almost two years, But NOOOOooooooo..... THANKS
180-200 good
200-225 warm
225-250 warmer
250-275 hot
275-300 real hot
300-325 too fuching hot
325-350 bring $$$$$$$
So how do these numbers corrospond with my center console oil temp gauge? Good as long as it stays well out of the red stripe, right?
brent
I recommend getting a new oil temp gauge from pelican. You have to use a 911 sender, but it actually gives you numbers, not just a line...
The stock 914 oil temp gauges w/o numbers were worthless 30 years ago...what makes you think they got more accurate?
it at least gives you an idea of what temp you are running...like actually numbers. Not just a green and red line....
hey...It ran great at MY house
and mine is STILL down. I have an idea for the engine tray though. I ended up making one on my own, and decided instead of a complete "channel" for the seal, I would tack on little C clamp things every 1/2 inch or so...still holds it in and less fab'ing.
b, who just remembered he has a 30 or 40 buck piece of 22GA he needs to return for some extra $$.
wow, I dont know what happened, but I am running a lot cooler today. It was about 20 degrees cooler than what it usually is running though. I was constant at about 190 today, so I think I am good. Thanks for the numbers guys!
