Oil temp
Mike,
I have had 2 sets of Teagues motors. The 1st set and the current set use both coolers on the bell housing with no thermostat. Never any issues with condensation and the motors show virtually no temp on the gauges. Bob does not use thermostats with his motors. I run the cold waters of Lake Michigan.

Mine barely pull off the peg even in hot days, thought they were broken till I saw them move one day.

Mine run 180 cruising, 200-205 Firewalled for miles. No condensation. This is with the Merc HP Thermostatic remote filter mounts.
Before I had those thermostat units, Oil temp gauge barely ever moved. On hard runs, maybe 130-140, and took forever to get there. I would get some condensation in the breathers. However Bearings did look new after about 7 seasons on them when we tore down.
I also run the Bellhousing plate style coolers.

I'll be for real, you are "eleventy" levels above what most guys see for power, but that temp is important, where it's measured even more important. You don't need a bazillion dollar motor to know that.
