Running hot - any advice?

<< < (6/6)

EuropaTC:
I think it was generally accepted that the Stromberg cars ran hotter than Weber/Dellorto cars, it was mentioned lots of times in my Club Lotus days.

Miles Wilkins also makes a passing reference in his book on the TC, saying that they run 5C hotter than Weber engines, 95C being normal. He put that down to several things,  the leaner mixture, port shape and, in the Elans, the smaller radiators introduced at the same time. The radiators are the same on Europas so that reason is out, but even so I wouldn't be surprised to see them a touch warmer.
