Jon: As I recall, you had briefly mentioned something about the toilet issues at Titusville. Thanks for remembering to bring the matter up here for all to share.

You had also commented on the temperature rise whilst using the factory-supplied exhaust retarder. We both apparently have the same system, with the right steering column range adjuster.

Just for the heck of it, I took the bus out the other day and watched the temperature rise, and indeed it does. However, the rather fascinating thing is that as quickly as the engine oil temperature rises, it cools just as fast. Now that seems like a puzzlement. One would think that if oil temperature can rise that quickly, how in the world would it cool down equally as fast? Logic says that could be due to one of two things: Either the engine oil cooler design is an incredibly efficient and effective system, or that the apparent temperature rise is an artifact created by the use of the retarder, which clears as quickly as it appears?

Of course, this has nothing to do with toilet water, but it was part of the conversation we had at the same time, so, what the heck.
