Inspect the engine for the possible causes of high cylinder temperatures:
Restriction in the air inlet system
Restriction in the exhaust system
Faulty fuel injector (misfiring cylinder)Note: Excessive lugging of the engine can also cause high cylinder temperatures. Be sure to evaluate engine operation as a contributor to a complaint of increased oil temperature.Check for high cooling system temperatures. Inspect the engine's cooling system for the possible causes of high cooling system temperatures:
Restriction in the coolant system
Restriction of coolant flow in the oil cooler
