914 bored to 2.1 seems to run at 220 to 260 up hills even in cool weather...
should I be concerned or not.. would an oil cooler do much to help the problem and if so any recommendations? thanks John |

I've heard the synthetic oils can handle that heat, no problem.
I'd rather not see anything above 220. I'd suggest looking into a cooler or making sure your stock cooler is clean and clear of debris. KT |
