Reply to "Increasingly high oil temps"

I believe the problem to be the 160lb cyl. The reason why I questioned the high compression was that maybe it broke a ring (thus the low comp cyl). When I first tested it I had a good white plug with fresh oil on it. I thought at the time the oil had splashed in from the valley as the intake is off. I now believe that this oil is getting by the rings. This also means it was getting 160 WITH OIL in the cyl (which would make it worse). I had hoped for a quick fix so I can continue to drive till I get the new engine ready. At this point I am changing my plan of action. I should have the new engine around the beginging of Aug so I think I will begin getting the engine out and working on some other things.

I think the oil temp is correct because as it heats up, the oil pressures drop big time. The high vol pump was a bandaid for a low pressure problem. I think the engines got to come out.
