I have to redo some of it. The high temp tape I used to keep the thermocouple attached to the line didn't hold as well as I'd like and I think it skewed things.
I think the stock seats stuck on twisty roads.
I do auto cross and trips to places like Tail Of the Dragon .... I end up tensing up my left leg, for long durations, to brace myself because of the lack of seat support.
The problem is: 235F doesn’t mean 235F everywhere. Oil in the pan isn’t the same temp as on a cylinder wall or on a bearing surface. And, we don’t even know if 235F is 235F … because it’s a computer algorithm. I’ve seen some data that suggests 235F in the pan is 310F at the bearing.
If...
I have measured 148 vs 183 on the hoses coming out of the filter housing.
I typically see about a 25-30 degree drop across the cooler tubes, from one side to the other.
I'm working on getting data from a 4 channel thermocouple setup, and I'm hoping to get oil pan data too. I'll post more...
