914 bored to 2.1 seems to run at 220 to 260 up hills even in cool weather...
should I be concerned or not.. would an oil cooler do much to help the problem and if so any recommendations? thanks John |

Yes, you should be concerned. 260 is definitely hotter than you want your oil to be. And yes, an external oil cooler should help bring the temps down. How much it helps will depend a lot on the design of the cooler setup. (E.g., front-mounted coolers get the best clean cool air; ones under the rear trunk floor only see heated turbulent air but are easier to mount.)
The oil temps are only part of the story. How are your head temps? --DD |
