I just read Max Wellhouse's  post  (time stamped 2 hours ago) and noticed
the following:

"The coolant temp ...stayed in the 100-103 degree C range until mid
afternoon when
it was working its way to 110.    The sending unit is in that skinny hose
towards the rear of the 3/4 cylinder side and for what it's worth"

"...I noticed the coolant had risen to 110 C.  I flipped the switch to
see what the oil temp was and it was well over 130C!"

So I don't know what "skinny hose towards the rear" is, as there are a lot
of hoses there with different degrees of relative skinniness-- but it looks
like HE should know something about it. Git 'im!
