Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Engine oil temperature

I have stuck cheap thermocouples attached to both the under bonnet oil tank and directly to the bevel box casing , with trailing leads to simple digital readouts in the cockpit

My findings for the engine are completely agree with KBMOG above , and dont hold to much concern.
For peace of mind I fitted a slip on cooler to the oil filter , similar to this

Diffcult to say how effective it is tucked away under the engine as it is , but it has to help. I also like the magnet to trap stuff in the oil filter.

The bevel box is a different story, running much hotter , and close to the max limit for the oil I was using so changed to Redline which has a higher temp range .I believe it runs too hot for the job its doing. Sorry dont have the figures to hand , but in normal driving it is constantly approaching 100c
and regularly peaks 120c. Been thinking about a separate radiator circuit , which I think has been mentioend recently on here.For me too complex / too many failure points.
Or simple ducting to get a proper air flow over it ( aesthetics may have to be put on hold ! ).

Hope this helps
