Driving one of the cars (2.0L with dual carbs) and see a consistent 230-240F on the dipstick temp gauge. The gauge is accurate (tested in boiling water). Normal driving.... 90F day, mixed speeds with 60 to 70 mph max, flat terrain.
The PO had pulled the tins to repaint them so I assume mice nests are not a problem. I will check the oil cooler and the bellows this weekend; however, I don't expect any issues there. So, other than investigating to see if there is a lean condition with the carbs (which impacts CHT more than oil temp...correct?), It looks like my options for remediation are limited to an oil cooler. I've done a search and find most threads are for 6 conversions or homemade setups. Of the few kits available, is there any consensus on a good affordable solution? |
