Think this guy may be fulla BS but had a 2.7 with no tin and claimed no matter how hard he ran it, the temp never topped 210. Had no front mounted cooler, just the engine mount cooler.
So is he full of it, or are the rest of us stoopid? (No Rick, you be the stoopid one for not calling his BS) |

Here's what I know:
The factory designed our cars with positive air flow from above the engine, over it, and out the bottom. Proper air management, as well as even engine temps were a consideration in Porsche engine designs. Early 70's Porsche factory race cars they ran engine tins If you don't get over 210* it's much harder to evaporated any accumulated moisture in the engine. |
