It's rinning full synthetic and I am getting some condensation build up.
What's up buddy? I've got the Eickert thermostatically controlled oil thingies on mine...no condensation.

Hey Craig-how ya doin??? Keith and I are talking about a "special" race assignment with your name on it-is Nancy cool with strippers, farm animals, and illicit substances? 
Thanks for the replys, I gotta look into this setup a little further and see what I gotta go with, It has some type of HP oil filter setup on it that I am not familiar with, maybe I'll have to look into the thermo controlled cooler instead, don't want no sludgy oil

Re: Oil Temperature going to 240
Do you have a thermostatically controlled oil system? If so maybe you have a sticky thermostat. Do you have your oil temp senders in the same spot on both motors? "Yeah, that's a good Idea." Do you think you might have some tight wrist-pins? If nothing else maybe an oil sample is necessary. Otherwise run her until she blows.
