Just remember your oil has to get to 212F to boil out the water that naturally condensates into it. Running too cold leads to other, worse problems... namely internal corrosion. Also remember your oil and engine can easily handle that 212F.

Now it needs to be 3 or so inches taller and I need to figure out the wiring for the power passenger seat, radio and windows.
