My oil temps seem to climb to 250 on a really hot day when running around 70+mph for fifteen or twenty minutes. My head temps seem to stay settled just under or right at 350. Which why I'm checking around if anyone can recommend a place or person to check with for a kit. I've read the pelican artical on it but most of the parts listed have outdated part numbers etc. Any suggestions?

To be honest, No. I have checked for obstructions and sprayed and cleaned as best I could without pulling the motor. I pulled the cooling tin away and cleaned the oil cooler and around although there were no obvious issues ex. debris, gunk etc. I cant explain why it wants to run warm but it just does and if I can prolong the life of the motor while not fearing driving long distances on hot days then I feel it's worth it. For all I know my sender unit is not calibrated correctly but I do know having an external oil cooler will only help my engine and the 2.0 I'll be building soon. So for an air cooled engine I look at it as cheap insurance and I'll smile when my oil temp doesnt break 210 on a hot day driving 300 miles getting sunburned. I've checked timing and multiple valve adjustments, etc. It just runs hot and I'm looking to fix that with this engine and prevent it with my next. Good looking out on the common topics though!
