Re: Unusually High OIL temp

["Wing Gee" <winggee@hotmail.com>]

my uncle suggested the same thing.. about something rubbing...

are we talking about the rod bearing caps? the main bearing?cam? maybe? i
was thinking about changing over to thicker oil, but i dunno.. if the
bearings are bad.then i'll have to change the oil again. which i would hate.
