 Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 3:03 am Post subject: 912S Oil and Water cooling issues |
 |
|
I have a Kitfox Lite Squared. It is the same as the classic 4 except with a smooth cowl and is a tricycle. It has the GSC 3 blade prop. It has the 912S engine and has about 110 hours. My CHT runs about 230 and my oil temp runs about 230. I was running the waterless coolant and have switched to Prestone Dex-cool. With the Dex-cool it runs a little cooler on the CHT but the oil temp is still high. Also when the engine is at idle the oil pressure runs about 60psi, however when I am at cruise the oil pressure fluctuates between about 40psi and 60psi. Does anyone have any ideas to get the cooling under control and what could be causing the oil pressure fluctuations?

Gauge or relief valve spring/piston seat???
Of course 230F is not very high. Fluctuation is a concern.
