Pre cooler temp is the hottest you will see. Pan is coolest. I know this from putting the probes in the wrong area
They should be close, if not the same. Where's the first place oil goes after soaking hot engine parts? The pan.

I see, well I guess a sustained temp is better than fluctuating high temps.
when I go to work some days mine will spike on the steep inclines fast enough I either have to back off or pull over but I'm going from 3k to 5.5k elevation in less that 20 miles.
What psi do the piston cooling jet open? I can't remember... Oil pressure would pull down to 30psi under a heavy load...
Mat (nwpadmax) proved that, while thats the case when the system and oil are cold....at operating temp, they spray pretty much constantly.

Anybody else notice that within that thread is the inception of Finger's pistons?
It took me this long reading from the first post in that link until I got to the post that you referenced... what a great read so far!
220+ when below 1800rpm basically 5th below 65 mph..
Just found out my mains need honed.. Logic would say increase/warn bearings had a hand in dropping oil pressure as well
Same with mine. Where exactly do you have your temp sensor installed? I wonder if your gauge is giving a good reading.
coolant mixed into the oil and rod/mains self clearancing, i can see it hitting that pressure at that temp.
