Serge I'm not sure what the right thing to do is. I simply set guide lines for myself as regards to oil temp based on 20 years of reading the news letters and what VW manuels dictate. My type 4 is stock, straight from the car, single ignition. My question in reply to your statement is; what is "over heating" and at what stage of the flight? What is acceptable? I chose to run with a max CHT of 350, oil pressure not to exceed 220F in taxi and climb, cruise temp at 170-190F and pressure at 25-45PSI. depending on temperature. As I said before, I have only a dozen hours of engine taxi and 1.5 in flight. Guess what, that first flight was so absorbing, I failed to watch the temp. But, the taxi testing showed no problems....save for a defective pressure gauge that kept me quite worried until Orma ( a fellow netter with almost 2 decades of flight behind a type 4) talked me thru the solution. I dare say, Orma is following this chit chat between us and hopefully will chime in with some expertise! How much flight time do you have on this craft? Does it run hot?..and again, what is hot?
