[QUOTE="mikedjames, post: 606147, member: 27363"] What gearbox do you have? If its a Freeway Flyer that wont help as the engine has to scream to get the cooling fan to work on a T1 engine. .. 4200 rpm or so for stock . As you slow down the engine you lose cooling. I used to manage 122 degrees C with 20w/50 oil on a 1641 at 65-70mph, and I once drove it 500 miles in a day from Cologne to Southampton like that. Then fitted full flow filter and 8 row cooler and run 10w/40 and see a max of 105C at the same sort of speed, but the engine is still running in the 4200-4400 rpm region. [/QUOTE]
