<VV> Hot turbo motors



A local club member just bought a 65 turbo coupe that the previous owner

said kept overheating. He would like to know what he can start checking to

try and determine the reason for it running hot.



The information that I know of is 65 turbo motor with attached four barrel

carb (I think). Heater doors are all the way open, even when cold. Engine

fan works. I know he should check for blockage under the top shroud as well

as make sure the head is deflashed. Any other ideas I should/could pass on?

thanks DougB
