What about risk of overheating as a result of the mod?

"No risk of overheating. I don't think there is much heat dissipation from the blocks in the first place. As long as your setup is within reason (not running 6s for 20minutes straight for example), it should be fine."

Grid away! Or buy another motor.
Pop off the lugs one at a time with a pair of pliers and then file it smooth. Only took about 45 minutes to do. Now the Tork motor fits comfortably in the Tekno mount. No issues with overheating whatsoever. Runs great.
