    Depends on the outside air temp and the skill of the operator, but as a rule I would say not over 150-160 degrees? More learned minds may be better informed.....

    What weight oil are you using.

    they do get very hot.Cant touch them sometimes.I guess if the pump is worn abit and it's cavitating it will get abit hotter.
