Bob,

I agree with your comments, but from Allen's posting, he's says he's getting 180F on the rear engine, where the water problem is occuring. His front engine oil is very cold (only 150F).

Bob,

Since my aircraft was a Riley conversion, I replaced those old engine monitors and I assume that no new holes were needed. Sorry I don't have more details on that point.
