Hi Everyone,
David B brought up a good idea so here are my temps

Rad just before fan kicks in 191F   gauge at just about 3/4
Right head   195f
Left head 191 f

at random times I had head temps at 202

Any suggestions would be great.  Sorry if I'm wasting too much bandwidth as
this has been driving me nuts.

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin, how about providing your readings and asking for comment?  That does
two good things: gets real data to the group, and allows people to give you
useful info with a minimum gift to you of their time --  good efficiency
and minimum waste of resources and of emotions in the system.
