My 914, if I drive it awhile, especially on the highway, will slowly get hotter and hotter. I was wondering what the easiest way to check if the flaps/thermostat were working. I can get to the top of the linkage, but does anyone know of a good way to prop it open? I was going to prop it open, go on a long drive and then see if the engine ran cooler...
Any ideas for testing it? |

Sounds like what I need to do is:
- Adjust the valves (it's due anyway) - Adjust timing, etc - Clean out factory oil cooler Can I get to that from under the car? Do I need to remove anything to get to it? I'm resistant to adding a front oil cooler, just because I don't want to cut up the car, what are my options there? Any good websites describing good installs? I realize that the trunk mounted cooler isn't the best option, but it keeps me from chopping up the car. |
