<VV> Running oil temp normalcy

[Stephen Upham]

The ambient for yesterday, when these readings were observed, was 90  
degrees.  I probably need to mention, although I don't know if it  
makes a difference or not, that the car is equipped with dual  
exhausts although it is a 110.  There are spacers in the log to  
exhaust connection as they are still 110's.  There are factory  
shields in place on both sides.
