oil temp

[pilotlars at yahoo.com (Lars Bruchmann)]

well, the coolant temp stayed normal though.  it was
right in the middle of the gage, i hope to hook up my
motometer coolant temp gage, as well as the oil
pressure gage soon.  then i'll know exactly what the
temp is, but apparently the airflow through the
radiator seemed adequate, which it sometimes does not
in town, when it gets really hot, at low speeds, and
high temps.  at the same time, the oil temps stays
normal.  so this is a reversal of what happens in
town.
