And anyone who knows anything about engines installed one, right?
I'll be for real, you are "eleventy" levels above what most guys see for power, but that temp is important, where it's measured even more important. You don't need a bazillion dollar motor to know that.

I'm sure a Builder like Bob Teague, must have a reasoning behind running the oil cold. I personally would rather have oil on the cold side, rather than the hot side, but ultimately, have it at a temperature it was designed to run at. But then again, I'm not Bob Teague, and if I had his engines in my boat, I'd leave the setup up to him.

Mike,
I have had 2 sets of Teagues motors. The 1st set and the current set use both coolers on the bell housing with no thermostat. Never any issues with condensation and the motors show virtually no temp on the gauges. Bob does not use thermostats with his motors. I run the cold waters of Lake Michigan.

Proper Oil Temp
Oil is tested for rating at 212F. In other words single weight 30 is 30 weight at 212F and multiweight 10w30 is 30 weight at 212F. Proper operating oil temperature is about 200F to 210F. Too cool oil will cause extra wear & tear on your engine.

Has anyone heard from Teague on the reasons or theory for not running a stat? I would think there is a method to his madness. Or is his cooling system that perfect where it self regulates? I believe it to be highly unlikely but thought I would put it out there.
