What was found

WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT, THE PILOT NOTICED THE RIGHT ENGINE OIL TEMP CLIMBING TO NEAR RED LINE TEMPERATURE. THE OIL PRESSURE AND ALL OTHER ENGINE PARAMETERS APPEARED NORMAL BUT AS A PRECAUTION, THE PILOT SHUT DOWN THE RIGHT ENGINE. DIVERTED TO THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT AND MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING. INVESTIGATION FOUND NO OBVIOUS DISCREPANCIES. ENGINE GROUND RUNS WERE PERFORMED AND THE OIL TEMP REMAINED IN THE NORMAL RANGE.
