Hello fellow RV pilots,
I just had my IO 360 rebuilt following a prop strike and now during the break-in I'm noting higher than normal oil temps. CHT's and EGT's are fine, but the oil temp at cruise, full rich stays around 215 degrees. I've only had three hour on the engine since the Lycon rebuild and I'm using Aero Shell 50 Mineral Oil for the first 25 or so hours. This engine never ran hot before the re-build.
Can anyone out there give me some advice?
