Added a pump and oil filter. Just adding the pump, lines and filter turning it on drops oil temperature and it levels off 20f cooler. I'm going to say it needs a cooler.
Also I was getting dirt settling on the engravings on the oil dipstick. After running for maybe 2 hours with a Royal purple oil filter the inside of the engine is as clean as a watch.
I'm thinking about going to a predator 459cc and a 5 or 5.5gpm pump and keep the 4gpm pump as a backup and turn the hot gx390 back into an air compressor.
