My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I'm no expert, but that sounds like a quick way to destroy a good motor. The grease will be thrown out of the bearing in short order, and it has to go somewhere.

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter.

Take the air coming out of the bottom of the head and not from the fins on the top of the head or down the glow plug hole.

The air coming out the bottom at about 200F close to the fins will be close to perfect. Land after a fang and get in there quick and stop the head and take the reading immediately.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		the grease with be flushed out by the fuel and could lead to other damage the amount of oil in fuel is more than enough to lube the hole engine.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		they say never go beyond 250 deg f becos that's the limit for the plastic on the bearings..

+1 grease are useless though, they will be washed away.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Rear Bearing

If the bearing is packed with high temp grease and the cover is fitted surely the grease would stay in the bearing.
The grease is good for 180 degrees C

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Any packed grease will be expelled within seconds except for sealed bearings but they are inapropriate for use.
The hyper is happiest at 94'C or 200F

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		As said above the grease would be washed away in a few seconds of usage. Even a sealed bearing would probably lose its grease in a matter of minutes in that environment.
The bearings in the motor are designed to be open and the fuel has sufficient oil in it to lubricate the bearing.

Good luck

The amount of nitro in fuel hasn't got much of a bearing on the amount of lube in the fuel.

Good luck

Perhaps not in every case, but in some cases there is a noticable difference. I run Coolpower 30% (non-LS). It's oil content is 22%. Coolpower 15% (Standard Heli) on the other hand has a 17% oil content. The 15% Coolpower has approximatley 23% less oil than the 30% Coolpower. (If my math is correct)

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I'm still running my datalogger an logging cylinder head temperarture during flight. With an ambient temperature of 18 Deg centigrade my head fluctuates between 90-115 deg centigrade during flight, depending on how hard the motor is working. If I could figure out how, I'd post the acual graph of some flights.
