[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 606276, member: 4304"] Jesus, that is hot! :? Something is a miss, I’d get that looked at. The street/strip high compression 2110 in my pop top westy only hits 85 degrees sitting at 70mph on a hot summers day but I do have a high ratio box so 70 is about 3300rpm. Do the basics, check timing and mixture, Is the fan belt tension ok? Tinware and seals all good? Also it may pay to check if the fan and oil cooler in the fanhousing is blocked. And hopefully you have the correct size pulleys. Just for the record a deep sump has an unnoticeable effect on oil temps, 1-2 degrees at most. [/QUOTE]
