With all the things done to solve this overheating problem would injection timing have any influence on this? I guess the only way to check is to physically look at the timing belt to make sure all timing marks line up.

Timing is fine, have just changed belt etc, but no change in getting warm. Doesn't seem to matter, fourth or fifth gear, still climbs at to the 3/4 mark sitting on 85-90kmh.
Summing it up, I have replaced everything to do with the cooling system, even the heater element, but no change to the symptoms. I will test the coolant for exhaust gases though it doesn't use any coolant so cant be anything major. Will install a more accurate temp gauge and monitor.
I'm pulling the engine out this weekend to replace clutch so a closer look at air flow will be good.
Cheers
Seems like a good result. Can you tease out the individual effects of the new thermostat and the modded radiator?Quote:

To be honest I cant let you know what the individual effects were as it was a little unclear specifically what had the greater effect.
We installed the tubeless valve stem by forcing a piece of rod in the bulbous end and pushing it into the hole in the divider tank through the filler plug at the top of the radiator. Read the valve stem goes down and it clips into the hole perfectly the rod was then pulled out.
My gut feeling is that the tropical mod had the greater effect I haven't heard from the driver since he left so am not sure what is going on with it now.
