Bartnik's compuserve account to get information about your oil temp? Just curious. I have a '72 aircooled bus and here in Seattle when the OAT is 35-50 it runs 165-185 no matter how long I run it. In the summer it goes up as high as 220. When it gets much over that I get worried, not that something is wrong, but that I will burn up something becuase you know your heads are getting hot and the oil must might fail to do its job. John
