Subject:Re: air cooled 2.0 1981 Cylinder head temp?

Hi.

From here: http://www.ratwell.com/

http://www.ratwell.com/technical/FAQ/FAQContent.html#0142

The late Bay's used a 2.0 air cooled. Some of the info there is
applicable to the Vanagon air cooled.

IIRC, the air cooled in my '81 would show as high as 375º F pulling
hills but that's a distant memory. Maybe info in archives on this?
