how hot do you run it? if the p/s fit is loose, then when it warms up it will stall because of heat expansion.
The compression feels fine, when cold its hard to turn over and when the engine is warmed up i can still feel the compression. I never clean my air filters as i put a new one on every day i drive the car. I don't use after run in my engine's after driving as i was told that wasn't necessary with the ROGA fuel i use. The only time i do use after run is when rebuilding the engine. I don't really temp tune, i look how the engine performs and if there is a nice trail of smoke coming out of the engine. I did temp the engine when the problems started to see if it was running to hot but it was running at around 100C to 120C which seems fine to me.
