There are alot of those in this industry.You wonder how they made it so far. It is the "Travel agent that has never been anywhere" syndrome.

Re: Oil Temp Sender Positioning
Rick do you have a oil temp sender in that spot on the port side of the pan.I thought it might be a little to high there?

In the boss right above the block oil filter location. The pan will be higher temps then this location. This is the temp as the oil enters the motor.

Yes I have the sender installed on the port side bung on the oil pan. I assume that is where the oil is the hottest (except for around the valve springs and piston bottoms).
I do have an oil temp issue with my new HP500 clone, so I am running Mobile 1 untill I can install a larger oil cooler this winter. Temp rises quickly at WOT, but seems to level off around 280

Keeping the questions along the same line, should I pull and plug the oil bypass (both cooler and filter in the filter pad) or install the higher lb pressure bypass units? Am I to believe that the Merlin block has no bypass units in their block? Oil continuously flows thru the filter and cooler.
