No tidal-lock. Virtually everywhere states, Venus' orbital period as 225.
224.7 days to be more precise. Google search on "Venus orbital period" and
the first thing you get is:
Venus - Orbital Period: 224.7 Days
According to http://sciencepark.etacude.com/astronomy/venus.php - More

Brad, I can't even find one instance where it states Venus is tidally
locked with the sun. Do the damn search and see yourself where EVERYWHERE
it states that Venus' orbital period in 224.7 (225) days.

Prior to radio observations in 1961, the rotation of Venus had not been
measured, and it was often believed to be tidally locked. I've seen some old
textbooks that state that it is (was) thought to be tidally locked.
