[QUOTE="six, post: 294362, member: 13557"] we got as far as biarritz down the cost, and it was nice and relaxed once the issues were sorted. Trikky2, bus has 2200 miles on it now. yes noticed it running cooler as miles went on, in uk temps it never gets hot anymore, the drive off the ferry we done a 40 min blast, barely hit 90deg c oil temp. After all the issues before i left, I calibrated all the guages, from 60 - 140 deg c usinf oil and also water the latter to veryfi the 100c mark. I noticed the 20/50 halfords classic oil in her really lost pressure at 120deg c fast, slowed to 50 mph and temps were back to 100 and good pressure again. Im not convinced how much benifit if any a deep sump and all that extra super hot oil gave, sure it took longer to get to temp, but i dont race round corners etc. I think before I go spending more money, ill be taking the engine out, whip off the heads and measure CR. and go from there. i'll fill the tech section with queries as i find them. ah winter projects hey! ~Ill get more pics up tonight chaps.
