Re: Todd Pheneger's overheat

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

Doubtful as it worked fine earlier.  But I'll get my oil temp gauge hooked
up in a couple weeks when I do my 500 mile oil change (second one after my
first 10 minute change. :-)   When I do I scored a factory temp sender
from a coupe at the u-pull-yard.  yay, then I'll know what my temps
are.  But I dont think thats the problem. :-)
	l8r and good luck.  Liked the pics for the pistons.
