I will be doing some testing tommorow so i will assess the results, im pretty sure its the LS needle thats causing the problem. Im using (15% oil) to correct you.
I think i might be over-reacting. How hot should the engine head feel?
The best thing you can do is go to your LHS and get a temp gun, there are some out there for under $50.00 US. You can also find some from radio Shack that have been very accurate in the past for around 30.00. This is something that will greatly help in tuning and the life of the engine.
