Oliver...
The P-gods have smiled on you!!!!!!
Congrats! I felt aweful after reading your story... it reminded me of my missed shift here a couple months back.
So, I can relate!!!
As for the discussion about the CHT gauge.
It is interesting that someone would say that the #1 clyinder typically runs hotter than any other... At first, I thought... naaaah.... but after I thought about it... I bet it could due to it's position in relation to the fan! The air guides on the back side of the alt. are supposed to direct air to where it needs to be, but I'd bet there's no way it could get equal the volume down to the #1 and #4 cylinders as well as the others... this has prompted me to move the thermocouple to another cylinder and give it a try.
And on aside note... After warm up I get a steady 250 degree reading from my VDO CHT gauge with the T.C on the #5 cylinder.
That is the hottest i've ever seen it get. Driving fast... slow... uphill, down hill... that is where it always settles.
