Good, I noticed very little oil movement beneath the valve cover, and was
wondering if that was a sign of poor lubrication. Oil pressure meter
indicates 30 lbs at idle, and up to around 60 lbs at running RPMs.

I definitely will let all of you know what the problem is, even if it
turns out to make me look silly. I'm prepared for this to be a learning
experience. I have been humbled by this problem. I thought I could
handle a little overheating problem. Guess I was wrong.
