  1. No worries - understood. Hope it gets sorted. In the meantime this 2lt looks like a very good answer to a problem:thumbsup:

  2. Have checked my temp sender in boiling water and hot oil with a thermometer and know it to be about 2 degrees off at 120, so know the temps it's showing are about right. And also loads of other thing - can't touch the fan housing or any of the tinware while engine is running, no way you can hold the dip stick, oil pressure dropping to 0 even though new rebuild and pump, the rear bumper being untouchable, the general amount of heat at the back, numerous other experty types looking and agreeing, how it sounds and feels when hot, etc...!!

    But apart from that how do you know?
    :D
     
  4. Cheers. I have no gauges on mine and often wonder how people know these things. I assume you would have heated oil up to 120 to test your sender as water isn't water at that temp. Im not sure what causes them to run that hot unless its a lack of cooling or a restriction in the oil flow if timing and valve settings are ok! I can only assume you've been around the block a couple of times trying to figure this out but I do recall a friend having some issues with a rebuilt type 1 engine some years ago. he did what he thought was the right thing and fitted gauges. He ended up getting shut and fitting a replacement motor as he simply didn't trust it.

  9. Do you have the gearbox to go with it?! Also why are you removing/selling?
