Hey, Sean, why are you using Linda J. 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
