[TPR] Oil Temperature Gauge

[TPR]

If you ask the expert (Jack!) he will ask you wotz important is where you are measuring the temp.

 I am no expert like Jack but the REAL mechanical engineer experts like Mike Trusty and Dick Drenske can explain hiw it works.....although both say you want both water and oil within * 05.8% of each other.

Dogma made up % number ;-)...... but yea both pretty close.
I'm running +/- 190-200 f on both water an oil at sustained 5,000 R's...electrical gauge was only 5 degrees higher then mechanical...
