I have a question for any one whom can answer it.
I would like to know what a reasonable temperature I could expect on say a 90 degree day for the oil and the hot exhaust air (not the engine exhaust)?
I am talking about the oil temperature I could for the engine oil if I took one of the drain plugs out and put in an oil temperature gauge.
I am talking about the air temperature of the cooling air as it leaves the shroud after cooling the engine.
If any one has something they have actually measured that would be the best scenario. It doesn't have to be a 90 degree day but the relevant ambient temperature.
What I am trying to find out is what temperature to expect the oil/air to be under a half load without any enclosure and with an enclosure so I can buy an appropriate gauge for the engine without guessing since I don't have anything that measures temperatures that high and don't want to spend the money on something I'll probably never use again.
Thanks, Jack
For the air temps, you could try THIS for only $7.
They have others also.
I could use this to get a ball park estimate of the temperature. It would give me a read of the surrounding area which should be clost to the temperature.
