I just finished cleaning all the inside glass of all my gauges (what a difference they look NEW) So I toke her out in the Miami weather tonight the outside temp was a nice hot 80 degrees. I drove my 914 for over an Hour an Half I drove her really hard and fast up 80MPH:driving: . The OEM temp gauge only read a 1/4 up and it never even got half way up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Once I got home I opened the engine lid and the Dip stick Temp Gauge read 250 degrees. ( note i have checked the dip stick boiling point yesturday before i installed it.) If My 914 is running hot what what might be the causes and which gauge should i trust.

OK I just got back from an 1 1/2 run in the car in traffic and highway drove her hard in and out durning my drive the temp out side was 68-70. At the end the car still marked a very steady 250 degrees. I guess my car just runs at that temp. On my original post I ran the car with 80 degrees outside temp and the oil temp was also steady at 250. In all at least I know that at 80 or 68-70 degrees outside temp my car runs at a steady 250 degrees. So If i am correct my car is cooling b/c at 80outside temp the oil is the same as 68 degrees outside temp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). The only thing else that i want to do before i consider extra oil cooler is giving a tune up (wires, spark plugs, rotor distributer cap, and valve adjustments)
