HPOUND created the topic: Config of the oil system
In the current AGK book (page 22), it shows the config of the wet and dry sump oil systems.
In the dry sump system, I'm wondering what the engineering logic is behind placing the temp gauge b/w the scavenge pump and the cooler? The oil will potentially be (too) hot coming out of the sump, however that's why we have a cooler. I would have thought you would want to know the temp of the oil before it enters the engine (just like on the wet sump system, once again after the cooler).
bobtait replied the topic: Config of the oil system
Thanks for your feed-back on that one. I've checked it out and I've been advised that, although there are different configurations out there, the most common is to check pressure and temperature just before the oil goes into the gallery. I'll make a change to the diagram in the next print of the book.
