sooooo, i decided today to hook up the stock oil-temp gauge (the little one without numbers).

i tested the gauge (werks fine), i tested the wire all the way back to the sender, werks fine too.
i could NOT test the sender itself (duh, it's *IN* the engine right now).

then i took her for a drive, ran some errands, just around town, for about 30 minutes, no freeway or otherwise particular hard driving.

my question is:
what kind of oil temp should i see on a 80 deg. day after 30 minutes cruising around town ???
anyone here who can give me any references? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


the needle barely made it about 5mm to the right of the first white stripe.
that would indicate the engine wasn't even up to operating temps.
can this be right??? oh, forgot to mention, the thermostat is removed, full airflow to the oil-cooler at all times.

thanks,
