<VV> Fwd: valve seats

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

Several years ago, I made engine compartment measurements (I lived in  
Dallas then) and found the temperature to be consistently 20 degrees above  
ambient, whether I had just driven a cold engine a few blocks or I had driven  
over an hour in city traffic or had driven a few hours cross-country.

Has  anyone replaced "believe" with actual measurements?  Baring any  real
data, I plan to make some measurements when I get my restomod on the  road.
I'm interested in how engine bay temperatures impact the cold  (reference)
junction temperatures for my CHT gauges.
