Update:
I can't afford too much downtime, so went with new cooler from stoddard and will
send my old one out for cleaning at my leisure, probably sell it.

Anyway, new oil cooler is in and temp was 80F again today, and where before I
was eventually getting fully vertical needle (helpful that that is one of the few
markings), now it is at most 1 needle's width to the left (colder). So, I went from
~229F to ~221F, not really even conclusive as different day, etc. Also I had my
sump plate on 'wrong', but because it's the aluminum Mainely Custom one I don't
think it mattered. Fixed that anyway.

So, definitely time to look at the relief springs/pistons.
