ok the smiths gauge I have gives oil temp in bulk ie in the tank. Its been fitted virtually from new ie 1972. The most surprising thing is how long it takes oil to come up to working temperature ie circa 70 -80 centigrade . Around 15 miles of brisk riding in heavy London Traffic.Worth thinking about if you want max power cos you wont get it with cold oil. And of course it gives instant reasurance all is well when tanking down the motorway, but presumably your interest is the drag strip. I used to have an engine temperature not oil temp gauge. it had a sender unit connected electrically to the gauge head. Of American manufacture , the sender simply being bolted onto metal , not tapped into an oilway. Will pm you if any of it survives
Ok oldmildew, past Ms Peel ultralight aircraft guages cht, egt, oil, vac learned me all about Combat themal flows peaks and rates of changes. Peel's against the grain hi Comp boost combo that need to be cautious on pump gas with rather tame ign curve or pingbangboom. So, boost triggered solenoids dump anti detonation fluids for 112+ octane into impeller boosting its density efficiency as 2nd ign curve snaps full torq adv >>>???
til either engine combusts or pilot melts from heat pile up.
Online calculators drive a shade tree squirrely.
IIRC- yrs ago with jaw gritting depression
btu's of Combat max, ~145,000, Peel peak ~360,000/hr = 60,000/min. What would you do next, if sticking to 91 nolead?
745 watts = 1 hp work, over what ever time unit, so do the math. Poor space heaters take hours.
