Make sure you have the sender for the
oil temp gage placed correctly......
The tube on the sender should go all the way thru the adapter it is screwed into at least 1" to be well into the
oil. Also the attachement point in the pan shud b down low, so as to be immersed in the
oil.
Cold oil is very hard on bearing life at high rpm. Bring your oil temp up before nailing the motor. 190-200 F is fine for street work......
