<VV> Engine Bay Temps WAS valve seats

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Ken,
 
If I understand your point, I don't think this technology would be good for 
 what we want.  It would measure the highest temp at any one point but it  
wouldn't tell us if those temps (at the bay inlet and the fan inlet) 
occurred at  the same time.  Further, it wouldn't tell us under what conditions the 
high  temp occurred.

Yes, but it is not an exact  science.  In other words YMMV.  There are heat 
sensitive 'crayons'  available that change color at a known temperature.  
They will indicate  temperature exceeding their set heat point.  They can be 
a bit messy if  your engine compartment appearance is important.  Placing 
marked bits of  steel in various points around the engine bay will give a 
reasonably close  indication of temperatures in any given area.
