4kq oil temp?

[David Glubrecht]

An interesting oil temp story.
Car in question is an 84 VW convertable rabbit. (calles a cabrolet the next
year)
  Driving on the freeway at slightly over legal speed it would run high
(don't remember numbers) oil temp and once pegged the gauge on a long hill
(vantage WA)
  This car had a restrictive exhaust manifold common to the 83-84 GTI's
  I changed the manifold to a better flowing one and a better flowing cat,
leaving cat back alone.
My oil temps dropped drastically, I also picked up a lot of top end power.
  So the point is that IME freeing up the exhaust will help oil temps a lot.
