It seems from your temperatur range that I did not get too hot, but if I seal everything and the issue still continues, what should I be richening up, the low or high end? I am thinking the low end since it won't come back directly to a low idle, is this correct?
Check out this detailed article on sealing your engine from a few posts back. It will answer all your questions. Just click on the link, then scroll down about half a page and you will see the begining of the article.
