To all, my thanks for your continued input. Dinqua, FWIW, Jojje over at the rat.net suggested the same squirting trick, by removing the pressure sender at the back of the cylinder block. What the heck, couldn't hurt the engine much more than it may have already been hurt by me. Also, it will give me something else to talk to when I start calling to Triumph and the dealership. You guys will be the first to know whatever I find!

Just to reiterate some key points about the condition:

No smoking
No leaking
Oil Level Sat
No excess heat that I could discern
No abnormal sounds or vibes that I could discern
Engine starts up when cold.
