I don`t know about yours but in my case the restriction in volume caused a higher temp in the pan and lower oil pressure. I don`t believe when everything is set up correctly higher oil pressure is going to cause a lower oil temp.

You can see my oil temps going up fast and at that time we were still working out the set up , it wouldn`t go over 5200rpms.

Last season.. Oil pressure was always going down with rpm.. below 40 ish psi @ 6000rpm
Bearing looked fine when taken apart thou.

(Mild thunder goes for a ride at 4:05) :D

100 miles since upgrading lines to -12 lines

195* oil temps at WOT is the most I`ve seen after the cooler.
No less than 60 psi .

So much better :thankyouthankyou:

Awesome. Bet you are so glad that is past you.

Again, good stuff.

That low oil temp is the best feeling. I'm stoked for you! My last boat was alway s 240-260 at wot. This one never goes over 220 that I can remember. Always runs under 200 for the most part. My new motor has lighter pistons of the same spec.( they had to rebalance the crank) Like Gordy said to me; The old motor is probably just working harder. I think I''ll wait until I upgrade my old motor before I try any more Kilo runs. Lol! .( But i would say it will pick up a couple mph.)

Are you running Torco 20-50?
