Much.
I just wanted to make sure that we didn't get some people confused
into thinking that the cooler their engines ran the better off they
were. As I suspect Big Al is aware, the engine runs best, and with
the least wear, once all its parts are up to operating temperature.
So it would really be counter productive to try to actually make your
engine run at 125F (exhaust cooling air temp.)
