	Of course, if you slap a couple big 
stainless needles in a narrow part of the intake 
tract after the filter, with a water bottle in 
the rear corner of the bus, you will decrease 
exhaust temp considerably.
	BTW having now done some hundreds of 
miles with thermocouples in the oil and in the #3 
spark-plug washer, may I ask for typical 
readings?  My 1600 dp in coolish weather but not 
near freezing typically shows  °C
