Engine Temps - Let's be Reasonable

Someone said they avoided redline because it was cool in Montana and oil temp achieved only 165. I say that when an engine reaches equilibrium temp, it is ready for redline, regardless of whether the magic 180 number is reached.

Also, JW has told us that engines need to be cooled for valve adjust, but not necessarily ICE COLD. I agree with this too, as long as it has had time to truly cool down.

Anybody want to disagree?
