My final oil temp numbers are in!!!

After several weeks of testing I have managed to get my oil temp to consistantly stay somewhere north of 4500 Kelvin at WOT. I have a oil cooler, but I am afraid it may be working too well as we could not get to the magical number of 5000 Kelvin. Can anyone tell from these pics what my problem might be? :eek:

Ok I will bite into the joke. 4500 K is about 3500 degrees F?
But are the photos a joke also? Who would rig the oil cooler like that?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

373.15* Kelvin= 100* Celsius= 212* Farenheit

I'm thinking he had some high oil temps and is being a little sarcastic in the initial post.

When you are attempting a world record of any type - be it a kilo run, vee bottom speed record, or highest recorded oil temp in a marine motor, you have to be creative in your engineering! :evilb:

That's some serious rigging right there.....k****** rigging that is!:D

It would be funny if it were not true! The thought process it took to put that conglomeration of fittings together to get the size down from 1" to 1/4" was true feat of "(insert racial epitaph here) Engineering". :(
