T&T: Running higher HP engines at low speeds.

[Allen Ames]

A number of "experts" told me that the fact that your temperature gauge
reads 180-degrees doesn't mean that the INTERNAL temperature of the engine
is high enough to burn efficiently.  My gauge will go up to 180 at high idle
after a while.  The thermostats are obviously clicking in.  When I run at
3200 RPM or so, the gauge definitely goes up a bit.  (NOTE: Low tech
analogue gauge.)  IF this is true, some folks may THINK they're running
their engine(s) up to temperature, but they're really not????
