Congrat's nice looking ride

If your not used to A/c get a CHT gauge if you do not have one. Good insurance. If the oil cooler is working good sometimes and something goes wrong it take looker for the oil temp to react compared to the cylinder head temp.

im getting a oil temp gauge for sure....it ran 130 degrees all day saturday..im sure there alot ill learn in time with a aircraft engine.

Dang, that's great.. I hit 180 degrees on a really long run but never went over. Mine always stops right there. I hate it when the oil temp moves. But have been told by Twister and Rhodes what the normal operating temperature of an aircraft motor has to be JUST to take off.. Shoot !! I have NEVER run it that hot, only to find out that this was the normal operating temperature of the motor.. Your just fine with that, ride it, they all make a little noise. Nice thing is with aircraft, everything is duplicated. Spark plugs, Mags, etc.. Down to no battery, they make their own spark (hell, just hand prop it). They are made to run even if something fails. They are pretty resilient motors..

Enjoy...
