Hot running engine

No but I once had a T1 based engine that ran too hot.

 

I once bought an engine from an Indian bloke that ran medium hot.

 

Did it sound like a maaaaAAAAAA drassssssssss.

 

It can be easier to make sure there is no junk in the engine bay, and that the foam is in properly and in good condition , as if the foam is falling out, its going to be leaking hot air from underneath too.


I also know from experience that a bit of foam about the size of a decent mesh hole about 1cm across is still enough to unbalance the fan.

 

There's also the chance of windblown paper tissue being sucked in through the external rear vents.

 

That hill is a steep bugger ...remember coming down it after i purchased by bus from Cirencester ,and how alarmed i was of the efficiency of the brakes .
That was the first job i did on it when i got back home .

 

Buy cheap meat temp probe, dip in your oil and you will know if it is running hot on next test run.

You could get a Bluetooth one or extend the wire on a cheap remote probe meat thermometer. Just a bit of screened cable. All the way to the dash.

 

Is the thermostat opening the air flaps. Does it have a thermostat even
A quick (I don't have an oil temp gauge) check of if a type 1 engine is too hot is remove the dip stick after a run. IF you drop it because its too hot ..then your air cooled engine is too hot.
