MUST SEE !! OIL TEMPS BETWEEN 180-200 VIDEO!  By  geh3333 (Read 3,390 times)

Here is a more updated pic of the scoot . its still an old pic. The scoot is obviously heavily modded , and I read in the forum that as long as the cooler brings the oil temps back down to the nominal temps between 190-200 the everything is working as it should . so I'm going to take that this way . if you have a stock gy6 , your temps should be between 180-200f as you modd the scoot the temps will rise " obviously". Mine is modded with a 58.5 plus all the rest , and I'm at 212 f . bigger bbk'd scoots will bring higher temps due to the bigger friction area . will this hurt , probably not until you reach the near 300 range , but remember the hotter the engine the more likely the shorter it will last. That's why they make the oil coolers " to bring the temps back down to normal ". So I'm going to state this now as a fact.

The nominal oil temps for a gy6 is between 180-200f
It won't hurt to be a little higher bit depending on your setup it may indicate a problem . i194.photobucket.com/albums/z314/achidotcom/S6300552.jpg

The main thing is , we need to know where to set the alarm . a 230f would be a good mark.

At this point I believe we have already proven what the normal temps should be . I mean , all different methods and all giving the same results 180-200!
I can still do a test , but I feel as if I have been testing this for the past 4 years. My gauge although cheap , is reading what everyone else who has tested is reading. So I believe its time to call this . I can still do the test bit I know it is going to give me the normal reading. The speed test , the speedo accuracy test , the 32mm carb " well I've been using it for 4 years now and with great success so that's proven a myth , now the nominal gy6,temps are a solid 180-200 . I just want everyone too remember , please test your theory before ragging on someone . or actually please test your theory and if you are correct , still don't rag on someone , just state the facts , present the evidence and make the conclusion. Please don't take this as an " I told you so " this is just someone who has fallen into these situations , because others jump out and say " is he for real " , so yes , I am for real and this is why we need to keep that stuff to our selves . if you have a disagreement , please state the reason why and we will work it out. Every one here benefits from this thread . we now know what the nominal oil temps should be for a stock gy6 and a heavily modded 58.5 bbk'd scoot . everyone benefits from this. My speed video shows what's possible , my speedo accuracy video , well that was because I was told I was lying. That didn't benefit anyone and was a bad time for this forum . the 32mm carb debate gave many others the opportunity to try and succeed in using a bigger carb for better performance. And I think this thread may be the most important, because it gives everyone the correct info about what temps we should be running and possibly saves the member from destroying their engine .

If you notice they are all talking about the head and plug temps . this is more proof of lower oil temps! They talk about someone on the forum who " knows his stuff " and he says to set the sensor for 270f . the others seem like its a little low , but the one who knows his stuff is telling them a lower temp . this completely makes sense , the temps at the plug and head will be higher then the oil temps. I bet the guy who had readings in the 320's no longer has that engine , lol.

The explanation on the last link you posted is a little too high for me , lol. It says to slow down and let cool if it hits 150 degrees c which is 302f . if the needle does a full rotation an hits 10c again then that's 302 degrees. My gauge needle never made a full rotation , so I was only around 270 or so. That tells you something right there. My scoot had a non functional oil pump and still never hit 300f . that shows you how low these scoots oil temps normally run . this is the thing . can we get away with running at 250 or even 270+ , and the answer is yes ! But this is not the norm for these scoots and more then likely points to an issue like running lean or a bad oil pump. Like I said before , how many of these China scoots actually make it to 20k miles. One reason is because there are no temp gauges on these scoots ! And if these pumps burn out so easy , how many have a bad pump and do not know it ? And if they suspect such an issue and buy a temp gauge and are told that the 300+ degree reading is normal , well that's a disaster waiting to happen and there was no way for that poor guy to know any better. But now at least we've put it out there , and the more I search the more I find I'm not the first to do so . I really hope this helps at least one person keep their scoot from the junk yard .

I agree. I posted this itistheride.boards.net/post/93687/thread
