Hi Scott,

We're talking air-cooled here. In which case a cylinder head temp gauge
is far more effective than an oil gauge. I have both in my aircooled
bus, plus an oil pressure gauge as well. Oil temp will trend on a hill,
but MUCH, MUCH slower than the CHT. By the time the oil gets hot enough
to notice you can have the heads FAR too hot, and the valve seats will
fall out as it cools.

Ask me how I know.

Happy Trails,
