With my limited knowledge it sounds like it's leaned out too much.
2 & 3 are always the hottest cylinders as they are at the center of the engine.
Personally I would be very unhappy about that oil temp
ps - I also love engines that go bang, especially at filling stations

Check inlet for air leaks, if it's been rolling-roaded and it's now running lean, I reckon the most likely cause is an air leak on the
inlet side..
