[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 589896, member: 3541"] Freshly built engines do run hotter for a while, but you need to check valve clearances, timing, etc, to make sure everything is how it should be. How do you know it's overheating, are you relying on a gauge? If so have you tested the sender for accuracy? An easy check, and fairly cheap, is to fit a "save my bug" temperature dipstick. This will tell you if the oil is getting too hot. [/QUOTE]
