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? |

If you run at 180 you never get all of the moisture out of the oil and it begins to make that nasty butter. I am in the 212 camp, too.

If you run at 180 you never get all of the moisture out of the oil and it begins to make that nasty butter. I am in the 212 camp, too. if your oil sump (typical location for a temp measurement) is at 180F I can assure you that some of the oil some of the time exceeds 212F. if yoru sump is at 212F I can asssure your some of your oil some of the time exceeds 244F. think about the oil in the heads, one of the hotter parts of the motor, oil that flows thru there is in direct contact with 300F+ metal. if you feel you need 212F oil to remove water, I can assure you that a 180F sump temp will meet your boiling point temperature needs. |
