Yes, I warm it up every third day or so, by running it on high idle until the engine temp comes up to full operating temp. 195 degree thermostat which is operating normally.
File this under "not good", and get ahold of that machine shop up in Champlin ASAP. I forget their name, and I can't seem to find them on Google right now, but the sooner you contact them (for advice, etc) the better, in my opinion.
As always, if you need any help, you know where to find me.
