This article goes into a lot of detail explaining why the 1913 record is not right.

There is also a lot of discussion as to whether the 1913 record was accurate. The 136 degree temperature in Libya was discounted a few years back.

read another Gov post that when temp hit 134 deg that was at Furnace Creek and most likely temp at Bad Water was over 140 Deg!!
