What is considered high for an O-540? I'm running 230 in cruise. Other temps are as follows...

CHT's: 340 - 380
Oil Pressure - 65PSI
Running about 50 + ROP

Mechanic says oil temp is on the high side, but everything else looks OK. Keep an eye on it. The EDM-830 matches the analog gauge and red line on the analog looks to be 260 and is well within the green at 230. My winter temps were running 200/210.

I'm going to get after some of the small air gaps in the baffling with some RTV and see if that helps.
