Hi Eric,

Regarding your high oil temperature, the first thing I'd do is = unscrew the=20 oil temperature sensor from the engine and put it in a tin can half full = of=20 water. Heat the bottom of the can with a propane torch or electric = heat=20 gun until the water is boiling and then confirm that your temperature = reading is=20 close to 212=B0F (if you're near sea level). That way, = you know if=20 it's a gauge problem or a temperature problem.

Good luck,
