Were you using 80 last year? Changing from 50 to 80 will definitely cause a noticeable increase in oil temp. The rings in the new cylinders might have slightly higher friction and you don't say how many hours you have on the new rings - after a few hours, though, I would expect this effect to have gone away. I can't remember if these engines have an external oil cooler or not, but this is another source of problems as they do eventually plug. If it has a vernatherm that would be the first place to look.

Now have 26 hours since the cylinder work. I would have expected the rings to seat by now. This 0300D doesn't have an oil cooler. Not sure what a vernatherm might be.

The temps did come down after about 40hr. He said it takes at least that long for the rings to really seat.
