Car Forum / Volkswagen / Air Cooled Volkswagen Cars / December 2003Early Porsche cooling
Did the 356s and 912 have the same problem of the #3 cylinder overheating because they had the cooling shroud similar to the early Vws (non doghouse)? How did Porsche deal with this? Originally VW and Porsche had timing retardation built into the distributor cap at #3.Steve > Did the 356s and 912 have the same problem of the #3 cylinder > overheating because they had the cooling shroud similar to the early > Vws (non doghouse)? How did Porsche deal with this? Actually, the #3 retard is function of the lobes that the points ride on, not the cap.

Correction!The retardation was in the dizzy cam,not the cap(Thanks Jim).Makes more sense now.Steve > Originally VW and Porsche had timing retardation built into the distributor > cap at #3.Steve > > Did the 356s and 912 have the same problem of the #3 cylinder > > overheating because they had the cooling shroud similar to the early > > Vws (non doghouse)?
