Thanks. I only have an oil temp gauge, but it has a numerical deg F scale. I think I've had it as high as 210. Usually, 170-190 IIRC. (I've only been looking for problems) To Jake's point I've been playing around with the tuning. Pretty close on the webers now, keeping it a bit rich. I have a few holes to plug in the tin too, and haven't yet tried to optimise the timing. I believe John at aircooled .net suggested 35deg at 3500 rpm and I've left it there.
This all tells me that the stock cooler may be adeqate and to hold off and watch the temps before adding another system's worth of potential leaks. Thanks for the advice!
What is considered and ideal 'maximum' working oil temp?
