[T3] D jet

[William Jahn]

I've read most of the posts you have put up since the engine was installed
. How are you checking the engine temp? I know these T-4 engines already
have a oil filter so I imagine you don't have any sort of add on extra's .
In what way does the engine get the cooling air? I've seen a few posts on
Samba with ways to make an air intake bellows on a T-4  fit up with a T-3
body for cool air intake and think the thermostat on a T-4 is very
different . I don't know what you have or if that's even the issue . I'm
just basically tossing thoughts out . I've rebuilt my stock 1600 and never
noticed it getting tight when hot. I only have a VDO oil temp gauge to go
by . If I recall if did run a bit hotter at first only because the oil
light would come on at stops and now the VDO oil pressure sender does not
read what it used to and needs a new sender , it's just my way of seeing if
anything goes nuts nothing accurate. I would think 900 miles would set the
rings . As you know running hot is not the only sign on ring issues.
