A set of hand made extractors will help if used with iridium plugs, and keep the antifreeze changes regular and use top quality

It wouldn’t hurt to put a 12 inch daviescraig elec fan on the front of the radiator with its own thermostat switch as added protection

They can be down on power and spend more time than usual on WOT on the highway

Mine gets used for dragging my trailer around a fair bit. We have been chasing a miss that has been really annoying for about 6 to 8 months. Changed plugs, leads, dizzy, rotor, fuel filter and Mass air flow sensor (That caused a similar issue some years back) . In some ways it is a releif to know that it was water getting into the back cylinder as at least I know what it was now....

As for WOT , I tend to sit at about 90 as I usually have the trailer on, but will pull over to let others pass. I usually catch up to them at the next truck anyway so figure in most cases not worth going faster....
