how the oil temperature is taken on a gen IV 454, is it taken as it leaves the engine (hottest) or when it returns to the engine (coolest)?

I'm seeing temps in the 250 range, whats normal/ too hot?

250 is to hot, have you checked your oil cooler for debris? Losing a few tubes to junk could do it and still not show as an engine over heat condition.

I just put on new oil coolers on both engines. They were used, but clean. they are approximately 20" long and 2" in diameter. What else could cause high oil temp? I am baffled. I'm using a 12 Qt pan. The engines were rebuilt this season.

If you want more heat removed, Make sure the water is flowing the opposite direction of the oil in the cooler.

I check my oil temp with an infra-red heat gun aimed at the oil pan and it is about 190* after hard running. The manual says that 220* is the max. 250*?

This is going to be a good thread.
