It does run hotter, but not by _near_ as much as the pre-doghouse T1 engines. Read my description again: > > Distributors fitted to engines with oil coolers whose exhaust air was > > directed to cylinders 3 and 4 retarded timing on #3 by 4 crank degrees > > (usually written in spec books as 2 distributor degrees). The Type 3 has the oil cooler exhaust air go out a seperate duct :-). I specified the above because for whatever reason some people have non-T3 distributors in their T3's.
