The light NEVER comes on for me.(well until the other day but not heat
related)Even after extended high speed (80+mph).No in-shroud cooler.
Blocked off hole,added sheet metal(nice,nice) and added 96 fin cooler
w/thermostat. Oil dripped on inside of wrist doesn't burn at all

No.Works very well as long as you have sufficient thread for fittings.And 
teflon tape.

Again,no.I cut nothing.All tin intact and tight.Wired on cool tin tightly 
also.

Screwed IMHO.The stock fan and shroud are very efficient.Once you remove the 
blockage
to #3 cylinder and redirect aiflow to resemble the shroud on #1 and 
#2.,cylinder temps
even out nicely.Thermostat must be intact and functional.Warm up happens 
much faster.
