What is the ideal operating temperature for a 74 2liter with dual Weber carbs? If the oil temp gauge is reading 240 after 45 minutes on the road is this bad?
I'm thinking about getting a 914 and the owner described this as one of the cars "possible'" mechanical issues. The engine is also leaking from the valve covers. Could these two problems be related? |
