Re: [T3] Just how hot is too hot?

<x-flowed>I will try to get a pressure sensor.  I think I will also buy a temp sensor 
of some sort to actually monitor my engine compartment tempuratures.  As far 
as mouse nests, I just had all the tin off a couple months ago when I welded 
the drive plate the first time.  (before I figured out that the drive plate 
was the problem) I will also check the spark plugs (I should probably get 
ahold of a guage to check gap, too) and I will change the oil.  (never hurts 
to change too frequently)
