This isn't true, air-cooled engines regularly run at much higher temps. The heads on my VW 2.0L engine in my '73 bus run anywhere from 350F-600F, I've got temp sensors on the heads, and oil, which runs from 200F - 250F. Of course, that's why air-cooled engines are not nearly as long lasting as liquid cooled. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
