At some point it might be interesting to swap temp sensors from one side to 
the other just to verify that they are not at fault here.

Just a guess: Have you noticed that some of the 3-4 cooling air is dumped 
out at the front of the engine after passing thru the oil cooler? The oil coolers 
originally had some foam rubber on top of them to keep air from leaking over 
the top and getting wasted. Most of these original foam pieces are long 
gone, but I found a nice source of durable replacements. I have these 
available for anyone who needs one.

I would be very interested to know just how important this part really was.
