Blake, I would have thought this is want you want - to heat the mass of
sludgy oil in the sump so it gets to the top of the engine more easily and
quickly...? I started my 76B today for the first time in a week and I know
it took a few seconds longer for the oil pressure gauge to get up to a
normal level - I assume this is because the oil has been affected by the
temperatures here in New Jersey (certainly no Montana or Canada but still
chilly!)...
