we cant be sure how much abuse the gear can hold
Ive got up to 145C *293F* when my VVEL decided to break down...
we now know that the oil temp on the VHR is taken right before going in the engine.
which mean there was probably a good 15-20C more which bring to 160-165C *320-329F* (having a dual oil cooler)
no matter how slow I was going to cool down,, nothing was bringing the temp down even with my oil cooler fan ON.
my guess is the oil pump is fine to that Race temp(260F* as someone said,without to much of a problem, but I would avoid revving pass 7900rpm
also having a heavier oil weight would probably help at that temp, (this is what ive been told ,,,)
