Hi Newy

It has been said in other threads before, but I will re-state them here:
  1. Oil volume cooling, once the oil gets hot no amount of electric fans will get it back down easily. Recommend fitting an external oil cooler (spin on adapters available) these both increase oil volume and cool the oil that is circulating.
  2. Centre bulge sump (+ matching oil pickup pipe) - HT models. This reduces the risk of oil starvation on steep inclines or steep decents, depending where the sump buldge is located. (Some people have increased the size of the sump for the same reason)
  3. If using vacuum advance, use a carby buterfly housing off a manual gearbox car as they pick up the vacuum on different sides of the butterfly.
  4. Lower the level of the fuel float to reduce flooding on steep inclines.
