Default RE: Adding Castor--Need Math Help

Thanks very much guys.

I've got a couple temp sensors that my friend--an electrical engineer--hooked up to a digital display. I am going to mount the sensors on the engine to read temps during operation.

One sensor on the cylinder head, and one on the cylinder fins.

I want to see what effect the additional oil will have on temp and performance. I'm sure it will eventually reach a point of diminishing return. Thats why I wanted to add oil all the way up to 25%. I think at that point, the extra oil will just be wasted--or maybe even hinder engine performance.

I'm also curious to see how RPM are effected with higher oil ratios. I am thinking that I MIGHT see an increase in RPM initially--with oil ratios up to 20% or maybe even 22%--I'm just hypothisizing though. Eventually, I expect engine performance to actually diminish due to the higher oil ratios. I expect it to get harder to start with higher oil ratios--but thats just a guess.

This should be a sloppy and greasy experiment.

Again, thanks for the links and formulas.
