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? |

Don't rule out that the oil temp guage CAN be wrong. They usually are unless set up by someone who is knowledgable of these cars..
If you REALLY want to know you'll have to either check the guage or the oil temp by some other means. There are a few ways to do this, but sorta a pain, involves boiling liquid and pulling your sender. -Bob O |
