How about this:
Install GAUGES to MONITOR the head and oil temps so you know if the
engine is hot or not. WOW that makes sense! Don't cheap out and build
an engine that you can't afford to monitor.

*So .... If I wanted to put in a "bank" of gauges, what you suggest?

- *Cylinder Head Temperature*
- *Oil Temperature -- measured where?*
- *Others? (I tend to want a lot of information)*
*Anyone else wish to "chime in"?

How about using very good parts, carefully assembling the engine, using
proper break in procedures, and just drive it. VW didn't bother with gauges,
as it felt they weren't needed. I'd rather be cruising along on the highway
not knowing any of those temps, than have a stiff neck from NOT watching
the road to see them. Or slowing down, because the engine had a temp spike,
and making the group you're with wonder what just happened as they flew by
you and kept going. ;^) I do know that by the time the idiot lights come on,
it's usually too late. But I've never really had that type of issue happen
since I started running good fuel.
