Oil temps too low?
Good Morning, hope I'm in the right section. I have a 6.0 iron block stroked to a 416ci.
Parts Used:
-block is half filled for extra strength, and sonic tested
-balanced machine bored, honed, decked, line honed, hot tanked, etc.
-diamond forged flat top -2cc pistons
-total seal AP steel nitrous rings
-eagle H-beam rods w/eagle ARP Rod bolts
-trend think wall wrist pin .927 x 2.50 x .225
-Callie's Dragon Slayer 4" crank with tig'd trigger wheel for extra strength
-ARP pro series main studs
-ARP crank cap bolts
-LS6 intake manifold
-243 heads
-external oil cooler
Before the oil cooler it was running 260-270*, now after the oil cooler its only getting up to 110-115*. How bad is it for the motor, it's freshly built, is there a good way to fix this? Has anyone heard of this problem? I cannot find any info on anything like this.

Your oil cooler may be overcooling your oil.
What's referred to above is a thermostat that is mounted
with your oil cooler.. Just like your coolant Tstat, It hold oil
until a certain temp , then releases it to the cooler.
Too Cold of Oil is a BAD thing. Esp in LS motors
