Snapage Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Oil temp goes from just below green to maxed out within a few seconds and engine dies. Was flying at over 350mph with oil radiator open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 You were red-lining manifold pressure at 62" right around the time the oil temp went through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Doesn't matter. In your video you can clearly see 62" from the 0:13 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapage Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Just had a look, it does not go past 61" as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) I can see 61", but this is nothing close to make oil heat that fast. @Nealius 62 63 even 67, wont make huge difference, for engine cooling wont affect oil temp that much, running engine at 67" won't heat up oil. I fly 61" 3000rpm for 20-30 min with no problem. Right now it looks like there is some bug in cooling modeling, so now you can fly with oil cooler closed, temp will go above 100 with no adverse effect. Check oil pressure it is super low, probably you hit 200C to get oil pressure so low at 3000rpm Edited May 2, 2021 by grafspee System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So manifold pressure cannot increase oil temp? Or is the bug related to manifold pressure increasing oil temp at too high a rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both higher MP or RPM are making engine produce more power, this mean higher oil and coolant heat, but cooling system will manage it no problem especially when plane doing 350 mph. But when i watched this recording again , i noticed that there something happened with engine, i can hear that rpm dropped for a second and go back to 3000 again then oil temp started to go up, maybe something happened to engine. I don't know how engine was operated, looks a little like master bearings failure in P-47, someone cut throttle in high speed dive ? combat damage ?

Captain Orso Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Oil cooler flaps switch is locked in the open position. IDK, but isn't it normally an (On)-Off-(On) switch, the positions in parenthesis are temporary ei when you release the switch they fall back to the middle automatically. The first we can see of the temp gages oil pressure is green and temp too. Then temp drops to a bit below green before starting to move quickly to gage-max. When the needle hits gage-max the oil pressure starts to drop rapidly and is at zero within about 10 seconds as if the oil pump had failed. I have no idea what is simulated and I'm certainly no engine mechanic/engineer. If the oil pressure had dropped off first, I'd have said "of course, oil pump dead, engine soon to die", but the other way around...? I'd also expect if an oil line (like the return from the cooler) sudden became clogged that pressure would go way up, but see the caveat about all I don't know.

Nealius Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This is eerily similar to an engine failure I had once after takeoff, and have since been unable to reproduce. The oil temp/pressure symptoms were exactly the same as OP, but when it happened to me I was reducing MP from 52" to 46" and then reducing RPM from 3000 to 2700. As I was reducing RPM the my oil temp almost popped out of the gauge. Must be some kind of random bug here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM357_TinMan Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Make sure your RAM air and Carb Temp levers are actually full forward. There is an issue that shows the levers forward when the system is actually not fully forward. This can cause overheating issues. Just hold whatever button that pushes each lever forward for a few seconds to ensure that the system is actually in the position that the levers indicate that it is in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) seems to happen when you take it out of auto, and it gets stuck closed. and when I use the ram air open it seems to get stuck also.

amazingme Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 You weren't operating the engine according to the safe limits specified in the manual. You should've had your radiators fully opened in MANUAL position, instead you had them both on AUTO. Your MP was higher than is should've been @ 2700 RPM or lower as you put wear and heat on the pistons. Simple as that.. The P-51 manual says to check your temps every 30 seconds..

Manual also says that coolers should be on AUTO all the time unless something is wrong. Second thing he had oil cooler wide open all the time. 3rd thing he had MP and RPM set for military power 3000rpm and 61", not sure what he was doing prior recording. RPM drop on the recording was consequence of dying engine, Throttle and rpm lever were maxed out while this happen.

DD_Fenrir Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Was the oil pressure within limits? Overcooled oil has a greater viscosity, it doesn't flow fast enough to provide the relevant cooling and lubrication films are more likely to tear. If you demand too much performance from an overcooled motor too quickly then bearings and such will heat faster than the oil can transfer it and there will be damage to partially lubricated bearings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
