Howdy!
So we're on our 1200+ road trip in my '74 914 (the blue one!) and she's running a little hot. I can't tell how hot the oil temp is from this gauge though. (IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2492/3838520171_8759120d68.jpg) |

did not see your Sonoma start point .. you know where your at.. I would not try to get it in the red..
The 1974-1976 Porsche 914 temp gauge, part number 914 641 118 30, has an unmarked scale with a smaller red alert area. Assuming that this scale mirrors that of the 1974-1976 2.0 combo gauges, the range begins at 30 degrees Celsius, and the redline, still beginning at 156.7 degrees Celsius, has shrunk and terminates at 170 degrees Celsius (at which point your engine would be seized, but not actually burning). with the heat sink affect you may be burnt when the gauge is just going into the red.. stay out of the red.. these are not percision gauges.. |
