Oil Pressure/Temperature guage????

If you get the opportunity, shoot a reading on the spark plug area where Honda went to great lengths to keep temps down with oil galleries and bolt on finning.

This was taken after a 30 minute ride and while idling for maybe a minute or so. (The engine is running.) The oil cooler read 220°F and the ambient air temperature was ~80°F. (You can see how the mirrored cam caps don't register properly due to the reflective nature of their finish.)

I feel really bad whenever i get stuck on a long left hand turn light and can feel the heat from the motor. Do you guys think its better to shut the engine off for a bit or keep it running in idle when you're stopped for a long light?
