My question is, is that okay?

I thought that 240 was too high for my new engine so I took the foil off and it was running around 190 degrees ferenheit. What's better, having my engine at 190 degrees not wrapped in tin foil or 240 degrees wrapped in foil? Or should I just wait for higher temps?
yes thats fine. just keep it in the 200's. if your wondered about it just richen the highend needle a lil. you should be fine. is the temp at the head or crankcase?
