The grill block was causing the engine to overheat so I removed it will have to re-design and try again. I'm thinking that since I'll have to pull the engine apart to do the cam swap I want to swap the crankshaft as well, something with a longer stroke to increase displacement, and shave the head for more compression. Also an upgrade to newer lighter pistons. Any thoughts on if this would be beneficial or not?
