Your comment on a lighter viscosity oil affecting engine temperature makes me wonder if this is why the engine runs hot. Around town I have no problems, but any distance under load (up long hills) and on the highway (60 mph +) it does get hot. I thought maybe that the radiator was partially plugged or it may need a new thermostat. The first maintenance that I performed on this car was to change the timing belt and flush the cooling system. When I pull it out of its winter hibernation, I'll change the oil using 20w-50 and top off the carbs with 20w-50. I was also planning on flushing the cooling system again and replacing the thermostat. Any other suggestions?
