Well, I'm driving my stock 71 1.7 from north AZ. To south Phoenix, and it's going to 108, or higher. My concern is heat and my engine. Never drove it with this type of hot weather. Should I have any concerns . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Ron and I traveled thru some of that weather a few years back. His vapor locked but neither his 6 or my 4 ran too hot. A towel is nice but I found something better. Rinse out an old spray bottle of "I can't believe it's butter" and refill with tap water. The sprayer atomizes super small droplets and feels like a mister.

QUOTE(76-914 @ Jun 6 2014, 06:43 AM)  Ron and I traveled thru some of that weather a few years back. His vapor locked but neither his 6 or my 4 ran too hot. A towel is nice but I found something better. Rinse out an old spray bottle of "I can't believe it's butter" and refill with tap water. The sprayer atomizes super small droplets and feels like a mister. Mine vapor locked due to the location of the fuel pump and the air dump from the /6 exchangers. No, I haven't moved the fuel pump, but one of these days I will (when I pull the engine ... SS lines and pump up front.) Air temps were in the 107 - 111 range. Oil temp ran about 220 with excursions to 240. |
