No history of running hot, as long as I have owned it.  Runs just
normal all the time.

I think the wrong sender may be in there under the pulley, from what
I've read it's supposed to be grey, but the one in there is yellow, or
maybe sort of a clear/neutral color.

I have a new grey sender, and also an oil pressure gauge to hook in
and see what the real pressure is.  We'll soon know more...
