I am seeing real high oil temps on my IO-360, Lycoming in my RV8. In the
270degree range. I have the 9 row oil cooler mounted on the rear baffle.
This is a new engine. Any suggestions on what to look for? Better oil cooler
placement?
Thanks

Al,
Check to be sure that nothing has clogged your oil cooler intake. We had
high temps in the beginning and found that we had sucked a piece of paper
into the intake. While we had it apart we increased the size of the intake.
Tom

Al, this is common on the angle-valved engines. They just put more
heat into the oil. I'll send you some photos of my (not original)
solution off-list, but you can find the same info on doug reeves' site.

270-F.??? I'd check your Temp Sensor first as that sounds awfully high
for any installation (especially with a 9 row cooler)!
do not archive

Someone told me that early cowls had a 2" exhaust opening and that caused
some problems and this was later changed to a 3" opening. I also set the
cooler back from the baffle by 1/2 inch and it's tightly sealed. Just
something to check. My IO360A1B6 with the 9 row cooler and high compression
pistons rarely gets over 200 degrees (hot day full power climb at less than
100k IAS for several thousand feet) Good luck
