[T3] engine/carb questions

[David Y <goob@adelphia.net>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find the right main jet size for my new engine (1776, Berg
full-flow, C.W. 69mm crankshaft, stainless steel valves, 009 w/
Pertronix, dual Solex H32/34 PDS13, currently running 140
main jets) after my oil temp shot up on the first freeway test
drive after only a few miles (to 250F on my vdo gauge... yikes!). I
pulled a spark plug and it was looking very lean, so considering the fact
that everything else related to cooling is in place (down to the timing
hole bung ;) I figure it must be the air/fuel mixture. Does anyone have a
recommendation for what size jets to try for this 
configuration?

Also, what are the chances a few minutes at this temperature did serious
damage to my new baby?! At around $3K into the job so far I'm totally
paranoid...

Thanks!
