Induction, Manifold, Exhaust System.

Next £1grand I get is going on a set of duel cams for it, vernier pulley setup. After that I guess its either a Supercharger or just a small turbo.

I quite agree, but I miss the days when I could drive a 3 door car, not have to carry a car seat in the back :lol:

absolutely no need for an oil cooler unless youre tracking it.

Wouldnt waste money on tuning the engine - much cheaper to drop an 1800 turbo in there - they can be got for peanuts nowadays!

Im going to drop the sump bottom end out next week to see if its the bottom end that is giving it heating problems...

Also get the Injector Flow checked out.

Could be a faulty standard oil cooler, faulty temperature sender (likely), lean running or numerous other things

Is it just the oil thats running hot?
