I have a low time O-320 150 hp that I installed last yr. Flying late Mon eve low and fast, ( rv6a) I saw my oil temp creep up to 220. It tends to run hotter than theold engine but I would like some inout on what temp is considered on the edge of too hot? Part 2- I have been interested in an engine monitor, but panel is full and only option would be to hang it someplace. I like the size and what looks like very good unit for the money, the little Grand Rapids 4 cyl EIS. Is anyone using this unit, or are familiar with it? Charlie Heathco, (FYV)

Charlie,
The GRT EIS system is great. I'm on my second build and would
not be with out it. The key thing is the parameters you set up that will
cause the alarm light to illuminate. Thus you can see when things are
becoming a problem. Have you considered installing the low oil sensor
in the case?. Since our Lycoming use oil, and we don't know how fast,
I've installed one to alert me when the level reaches (in my case) 3.2
quarts. Aircraft Extras.com has the unit. Its cheep and will give me
peace of mind. At least I will have a short time to find a place to land
instead of a panic when everything goes south - rising temps and oil
pressure going down for lack of oil in the system. I'm just a little
paranoid. My Rotax 912 never used any oil so it was a non-issue.
Jim
