I was hoping you'd be able to see a drop in average temps on both, say a
10 degree drop in average oil temp = a 5 degree drop in average cylinder
head temp.

I'm starting to think I might install some sort of computer into my
vanagon instead of gauges. That way I could log a variety of things and
their relationships.
