You can obviously test the whole high EGT theory at part throttle in a matter
of seconds by simply riching up the part throttle fueling and seeing how it
affects your oil temps, but like I said, I run real lean mixtures and EGT's
of 12-1400 in my car all the time with high rise in oil temp.

I can't imagine the EGT's getting much higher than 1400 in any part throttle
condition, no matter how lean its running, and 1400 (worst case scenario)
just isn't sky high as far as really increasing engine temp, its about 1 or
200F higher than an ideal mixture would be.

I guess what concerns me about this thread is that all of a sudden you have a
few people who have little experience/never tuned fuel mixtures, and who have
not likely seen an EGT gauge jumping in _not_ with theories, but unequivocal
truths.  Seems to be happening a lot lately on the list.

I'm more for exploring theories and testing soloutions than spouting off
factual statements that have no backing or support.

So, let the testing begin  =)
