I threw the juice to mine last night and I think it has more torque than my old John Deere mower.  Once I get it wired up, I think I will feed my Zirgo fan that's supposed to be 3600 cfm to it.

I probably should have clarified and I didn't mean to imply that 210 was hot; I do want at least 210-220 oil operating temp for the obvious reasons. My plan is to install an oil cooler once I have had time to see how the oil temps behaves overall and after engine break-in. As for verifying the temps, I have a spare Autometer oil gauge and have run them both and they match. So they are either both right or both wrong. And my IR gun shows consistent temps but a few degrees cooler on the pan, oil filter adapter block and oil filter exterior.
