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 |

Sorry, I'm really a noob. I have a stock '75 and I don't know temp #s but when I'm on the highway or drive for a long period of time the stock temp gauge reads about 3/4 of the way up. It gradually gets there as I drive and once it gets to that 3/4 point it pretty much stays there till I slow down or stop driving. I plan on getting better monitoring for the temps, but in the mean time does this sound normal? It was recently tuned. I just want to make sure I’m not cooking my “new” car.
