First of many questions as I am into my first season with my 2002 340. I have 8.1 Horizons that are closed water cooled. The running temps have been dead on 170 on both engines with oil pressure at idle and at average running rpms about 40-45 psi. Just this last 2 times out I have noticed the port engine running a little hotter and the oil pressure creeping up a bit on the port side.
just yesterday I am coming off plane the temp gets even higher on port engine only and the oil pressure drops to 30 on both when I throttle back fully.
I know I am due for a full fluid service, but can just the viscosity of used oil make this much difference?
i am looking for some serive ideas of items to check.
