I don't see any correlation between oil temp and cylinder head temp. Running hard I see 350-370 CHT and 200-220 Oil temp. The problem is that it takes only about one minute to get CHT readings and as long as 15 minutes to get any change in Oil Temp at the gauge. I just don't see any relationship between the two.
