300º OIL TEMP, What Going On Options

[Smitty911]

Well I talked to RON (SLITS) and he was kind enough to have me over to check out the 914.

Filled up the tank with 89 octane $4.03 a gallon, put in some STP Fuel Injection Cleaner and of course washed her in the Coin Op, Couldn't see introducing a new 914 all dirty.

On the way out to Riverside outside temp 65-70º F, 65 MPH, Oile Pressure 65, and OIL Temp started and stayed around 200º, half way there she ran up to 250º. Ok odd but I havn't owned it that long. Stop for Breakfast and to let her cool down.

Half an hour later start her up Oil around 180º and back on the 91 FWY. By time I get there the oil temp was back to 250º+.

Introduced myself and Ron started poking around a little. Set the Fuel Pressure, was low at 26 PSI reset to 29.4 PSI. Adjusted the timing. He said it was as good as it was gonna get.

Jim was there working on a 3.0 Liter. Ron than took me for a ride in a 2.7 Liter.

I spoke to Ron about the OIL Temp, he checked the gauge against a Thermal couple, Gauge reads correctly.

Say good bye and head back home, By Green River Drive I had to pull off cause the OIL TEMP was up to 300º. It had been around 220ish and when I looked down again, it was at the 300º mark. Stopped to let it cool.

Drive home and it was around 250º the rest of the way home. Temps stayed high if I was doing 65, 70, 75, 80 MPH. I would push in the clutch and coast and that would sometimes bring it down.

Any Ideas or where to start. FYI Fresh Oil change with filter. Oil cooler blocked??? Oil Cooler fins blocked??? Heck I don't know.

Any suggestions??

EDIT - I forgot to add that it is running rich. Half tank for the round trip (70 miles maybe)
