Re: High Oil Temperature
I have to agree, if the only thing that changed was the mags then it must have something to do with ignition.

Re: High Oil Temperature
Trust but verify your mechanic's timing with the new mags. Also check that all the leads are going to the correct plugs and/or are in good condition. On the little Continentals, one mag fires the top plugs, the other the bottom. And they are two degrees off in their firing BTDC in the C-85.
It's really the only thing that you touched that could affect temps based on the actions in the orignal post. This assumes that historically your oil temps were the standard OAT + 100-110 degrees F.
