Did you notice a lack in power when flying lately? High oil temperatures are a sign of combustion gasses meeting the engine oil. Thus the oil is heated up unnecessarily. Cause can be piston rings not seating anymore or broken , or more likely valves sticking. Did you check the compression? Check it. I bet one cylinder is low in values. It is the either the exhaust valve or the rings. Main thing is not to fly that engine. If it is a burned valve, chances are, you ruin the other cylinders too.
