Thanks everybody, I'll heat it to where a spritz of wd40 smokes. I
don't know this temp - maybe 400.

Lucky for me its -17 outside so i got a good freezer for the flywheel.

Really, that doesn't matter much. It's temperature differential that
matters, so -17F only adds 86F to the differential vs. 65F room temp.
The heating is what matters, unless you have LN2 handy to get some real
negative temps.


Dang, didn't get any sympathy for you. This cold snap is just plain
awful.
