[Shotimes] Oil temp gauge//hot oil temps

[Donelson Don]

Normal hot oil temps will range from engine to engine and operating conditions.

I think somewere between 190 to 220 is normal. On cool days I am 180 and in traffic or if I am getting on the motor I have seen as high as 250. Under race conditions I have seen as high as 260 .. 270.

For those temps u only want synthetic oil.

Regarding the low oil temp sensor ... Thats the ideal location for it.  What i do is disconnect the sending unit ( disconnected your low oil light will remain off. ) and remove the 26 mm bolt that houses  the sending unit.

You than take the sender to a machine shop and have them cut off the top part as far down as u can with out affecting the structure integrity and than have them tap and thread for your brass sending unit adapter.

I have done this on both of my SUPER SHO's
