I have just added a rev counter, an oil temp gauge and a cylinder head gauge to my 70 westphalia. There have been a series of discussions re max revs, and temperatures. What is a sensible max rpm for cruising? what is the danger point on cylinder head temp for #3? What should the oil temp be? What is a reasonable gas mileage, I seem to be averaging about 18mpg? If anyone has a reasonable viewpoint please let me know. Sam Williams
