I have got my engine back together and running after 2 dropped valve seats.
I am keen to keep the heads cool, I think I read something on this forum about keeping the engine revs about 3500 to provide adequate cooling even if this means driving in 4th gear to keep the revs up. What to members advise? |

Is the motor stock is probably the first question?

Yes stock 2.0 Correct assembly of the motors cooling tins(no gaps),clean oil cooler,good engine compartment seals and plug seals,a clean motor,a good tune-up (using the right plugs),timing ,rocker clearance etc etc,all add if to make an engine run cool enough. No air-cooled engine likes to be "lugged" so this method would have its merits if you suspect overheating or are driving with the oil temp gauge,how hot is the summer in Sweden ??,cheers. |

Interesting. I never feel like those seals "seal" well anyway. Anybody else doing this?
