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 |

That is the oil temp gauge. It is a poor indicator of how the engine is doing--there are no numbers, so you can only tell "cooler" or "hotter"--but cooler or hotter than what is the question!! Either ignore the gage, or live with it for a while to see where it usually runs. If the behavior changes, you may have a problem. Or ditch it and get a numbered oil temp gauge (with matching sender!!) and a head temp gauge. --DD |
