also, about the finger-temp-feeling-procedure ...
this is a VERY subjective reading because a lot depends on the room-temp.

Some weeks ago, when temps were very low over here in Belgium (around -7 during the day), I went training on an indoor-track.
When checking the motor-temp after a long run, it felt really hot, so I thought I had a problem.
Checked with my temp-gun ..? rechecked .. and it still gave me a reading of only 45°C
We then checked with someone else's temp-gun and again the same readings.
I guess we were so used to the coldish room-temperature, it was rather cold inside the hall, that we felt this 45°C as very hot whereas in the summer, I could "feel" a temp on my motor up to 70°C.
