I have a 2.0L in my '75 right now and we just took the tin off a couple weeks ago. Does the tin really affect cooling? Does it help to keep the temp down if the tin is on the motor? Please let me know. Thanks

Just another reminder that a CHT (head temp) gauge is a very good investment. Not very expensive (I think I paid <$70 for my VDO) and you'll KNOW where you're at. Easy to install... drop a ring under #3 sparkplug and run wires to the gauge.
Knowing if it gets too hot will save you a LOT of money. The peace of mind of knowing it's running within spec... priceless. |
