Its still in the green but only a needles width below the red-line. What is normal? Conditions during the latest flight were hot and humid - temp at ground level was 92 and relative humidity in the 90's. The engine had all cylinders re-built a couple of months ago and I am runnning straight mineral oil (Aeroshell 80). All of the baffles are in good shape and the mechanic sealed all of the seams with sealant during the cylinder rebuild.
