I’ve got an oil temp issue.
RV-14A with a YIO-390EXP
about 60 TT
Climbing out at about 115 Knots
Oil temp went from 191 to 222 degrees in 9 seconds.
I believe it only stopped at 222 because I pulled power back to just above idle
Pulled power returned and landed. temp was down to 200 by the time I shut down
Checked the oil temp probe with boiling and ice water, temps as expected.
Oil pressure was stable at about 75 psi
CHT’s good at about 350
Sump showed just over six quarts when I checked same as before flight
Pulled the vernatherm. No obvious issues, and putting it in boiling water cause it to extend by “I think” an appropriate length.
Running out of ideas on what to try. Any thoughts?
