[Biturbos4] timing belt / oil temp

[Rich Shiba]

Yeah, i have noticed that my temps were cooler than what
people have generally posted here actually.  I've got a digital
oil temp gauge that works off of a sensor in the pan plug.
Driving home (all freeway) going a constant 75 or 80, i would
routinely drop below 180 deg...
