8v92 6v92 two stroke basics

[Tommy Standard]

Thanks Greg,

That was very enlightening. One question to ponder? My 8V92 in my Bird
consistently shows oil temp above 240 and most nearly 300. I have done an
inframe overhaul which included a new radiator and changed the thermostats so
that the electric fan would switch on lower. All to no avail. The only way to
keep the temp anywhere near normal is to run the fan.
I was told by Detroit that as long as my water temp stayed OK that I should
not worry, but I can't help but to keep my eyes on oil temp most of the time.
One mechanic Even said that the temp sensor was in the wrong place.
Thanks for any info anyone has.
