Local place that fabs up all sorts of hydraulic lines for local farm and heavy-equipment guys also happened to have nickel-copper brake line. Works great, but I did pay attention to not leaving much of it unsupported. I figure anything that flexes will eventually fatigue.

OT reacts to slowly. MS uses that signal to control the warmup enrichment and I don't want to apply the enrichment any longer than it's actually needed.

And in the winter I struggle to get the oil temp up over 150F, even with fully functional thermostat and shutters. The first 8 miles in my commute are all down-hill. Tough to warm it up.

Actually, next time I make changes I plan to fit up some heads that will take the type-3 CHT sensor. And MS-II already has a built-in cal for it.

It would have seemed more like work if it wasn't so much fun. :D

The cupro-nidkel alloy was chosen for brake lines due to it's 
resistance to fatigue, unlike pure copper, so that's a point in its 
favor. The downside to this is the fact that the rubber hose almost 
always fails at the connections, where it is slightly stretched. With 
your metal tubing sections, you have a lot more of those connections.

I was thinking that OT would react about the same as WT, but if the 
MS works well with the faster warmup time of the HT and doesn't mind 
the higher end temp, then getting out of the warmup mode quickly is 
certainly a good thing. If that's correct, I wonder why MS didn't 
suggest HT as a first choice.

Yeah, that would be hard.

That sounds like a much simpler approach.

?
Thanks Jim, it took?me a while but I did find one locally.?? Will try to install it later today...
