So i'm guessing/hoping that with Harry's latest round of engine works that his overhearing issues are now gone, cheers Greg

Yes, that's right Greg. One of the conrods was bent slightly all this time so it was no wonder I was never able to sort the problem.
Ironically, the engine runs too cold now LOL. I'm waiting on an oil cooler thermostat to arrive at Vintage VeeDub so I can get that fitted and get the 500km oil change done at the same time. Takes too long to warm up fully for now, but tops out at 90 deg C at 100 km/hr up and down hills.
Doesn't even have a fan on the cooler; just air flow from driving. Perhaps I should have fitted the cooler a long time ago, but I just knew there was some underlying problem that I hadn't found.

Thats great news Chris even though I did piss myself with the running too cold now part of your post, perhaps you need to put the standard oil pump back in, ha, cheers Greg

All good, I think it's pretty funny too. I don't think it's going to take me 2 years to sort this one out though
