The engine is still running cold (W-155F, O-110F); but= we both figured it best to leave well enough alone until after we return t= o local operations. I have restrictor plates made up for the oil cool= er inlets and will insert them 1 at a time to increase the operating temper= atures on next flights =E2=80=93 will keep you all posted as to how this pl= ays out.

Jeff (happy, happy)
