ok,
Here is my experience and I think your questions would be best answered if you indicated the outside temperature. I know KCMO can get quite chilly in the winter, I go there often and it gets cold! Lately It's been between 15 and 35 degrees farenheight where I live (New York City country suburbs) and to be honest with you, my oil temperature seldom reaches 150 degrees. I have no trombone cooler, just the regular old cooler and tank. I dont think we are all experiencing malfunctions with our temp sensors. Lets remember that these cars are air cooled and that when we drive them in temps below freezing, that will have a significant impact on the engine temperature. The only thing I like to keep in mind is to let the car warm up substantially before hard driving. I have forged racing pistons that are more prone to floating around the cylinders when cold.
Hope this helps
