Overheating
Assuming that everything is working correctly, you may require more airflow than the vents in the 65 allows, although I wouldn't think so on a
'mild' engine.
Check that your cooling system is functioning correctly and that your engine is clean and tuned correctly, and if the problem persists, think about
improving the airflow into the engine compartment.
You can use a vented engine lid from a cabrio or late model, add louvres to your existing engine lid, use stand-off hinges, or modify the lock to that
the engine lid doesn't close properly.

check that the engine bay seals are intact and installed properly, this can make a huge difference, the upper part of the engine has to be completely
seperated from the lower part otherwise hot air will be sucked up from the exhaust, cylinders and heads into the fan and it will get hotter and
hotter.

hi devilbug yeah if you already have the late 1600 twin port cooling tinware you really shouldnt be having any problems, but if you install an oil
temp guage you will find out for sure. now there are a couple of different places to put the temp sender but i recommend the dipstick tube sender by
VDO. now i live in cental Queensland where its very hot in summer and very rarely did my 1641 ever go over the 100 degree celcius mark. so try a temp
guage and make sure your engine is getting too hot, but what temp is too hot i cant answer!! also does your engine have the thermostats still
attached?
also make sure all cooling tinware is there and all seals are in place
