Carb HP500 Oil Overheating?
#11
Check the oil thermostat on the remote filter pad. If it's stuck it won't route oil to the cooler. Mine was stuck, all I had to do was clean it and it works fine now.
Since water temps are fine I wouldn't think water pump is the problem.

Its not shown in your pic but should be a sandwich tstat mounting between the oil filter and remote filter mount on the back of the port head.
Oh yeah and one trip to 280f on synthetic oil I would not change it. Dino oil I would.

The pic is of the remote oil filter pad. On the back of the engine, port side (where your oil filter goes on). the lines sticking up in the air in the pic are actually facing towards the starboard side of the engine, and connecting to the oil cooler.
You do understand I'm talking about the oil cooler thermostat and not the engine water thermostat right?
This filter pad is mounted to the back of the port side head. NOT down where the original oil filter would go if it was in a car...
