Belt is inside the cam case clean and dry running at 180 degree, same as oil temp. How many of you guys have an oil temp of 180 after warmed up?

this article confirms some things everyone says, the 2000-3000 rpm cruise speed for lower vibration, for one. Oil temp issues: "Oil giving up at high temp." Not sure about the crank hsp figure...or how that translates with the various drives used on the 3W. 800 hour test at 3200 rpm? I wonder if Morgan tests its gear like that? I like the factoid, four V twins the size of the x-wedge would make a 557 cubic inch V8. "Elegant simplicity" is not what I think when I fire this thing up and open the throttle.

Belt is inside the cam case clean and dry running at 180 degree, same as oil temp. How many of you guys have an oil temp of 180 after warmed up? I would say that 180f (82c) is about what my engine runs at after fully warmed up most of the time, on an 20c ambient day. No oil cooler involved but that is in a generally cooler UK. I think the problem with cam belt failure was heat soak in the same area of belt from the crankshaft, as it usually stops in the same position. The extra ventilation must help keep things within the allowable range for the belt. A good article, thanks for sharing it Craig.
