The temp reading you get depends entirely on where you take the reading. I would be willing to bet his was pre-cooler which will yield high temp readings around 220°. Someone most likely got a perfectly good engine from him. Did he ever say what temps he got?

Hi Netters. A friend in our local RAA club installed a corvair in his homebuilt. He had cooling problems. Any time he went faster than 80 mph his engine got hot. He tried many things ( He is a professional engineer), but finally gave up and sold it. Is cooling normally a problem? If not, what is the secret?
