Hi John:

That is also in the 1HR - 1ZHR series book.

60 deg C seems awfully cool to me, especially for a diesel, but I'll
see what we can do to bring that temperature down.

My book is 1955, and with modern lubricants etc I would have no
worries about running at the higher temperatures, it certainly isn't
showing any distress or signs of anything getting near the limit. It
is not under anything like full load either.

I wonder how many engines actually achieved that, especially the
hopper-cooled 1HR and the OK, AP series, which must have run at higher
temperatures to achieve the cooling?

Peter
