Re: engine temp gauge


I have installed an oil temperature gauge on my 1970 Squareback.  The sensor
is installed on an after market oil sump.  The oil temperature rarely exceeds
150 F.  I would recommend both an oil temperature and a cylinder head
temperature gauge since air cooled engines can overheat locally before the
oil temperature gauge shows any problems.  The cylinder head temperature
sensor should be installed on #3 cylinder (air flow is restricted by oil
cooler).

My experience is that the engine temperature should be about 180-200 F.
