	Mine always runs high, too, but I notice in mine, the more 
electrical stuff I have on, i.e. radio, headlights, etc...  The higher 
the oil temp goes.  If I push in the cigarette lighter, watch out, 
the first time I saw it, I almost fainted.  Faulty ground somewhere, I 
suppose.  Just wanted to throw in my suggestion.
