Re: Dyno Results - 454
We are unsure why the oil temps climbed during breakin.
He said it could be as little to much oil in the oil pan, the crank starts whipping up the oil in the pan and creates the additional heat
I changed the filter when we swapped springs, I only filled the filter up 1/2 way to shed some oil and it seemed to work, we never saw the high oil temp again.
When I built the motor I choose not to install a windage tray, from what I read if you are trying to keep a flat tappit cam alive you want as much oil flying around as you can, "to much oil control on the street can be a bad thing on a street motor"
