So in a roundabout way, is it possible the lsn was too lean and causing the engine to overheat? I'm kinda sure it wasn't the high speed being lean 'cause I was around 4 turns out from bottom, I'm just out of ideas on what it could be.
On the wrong type of track a lean LSN and rich HSN will cause the motor to run that hot. Depending on your climate start around flush on the LSN and about 2.5 turns out from closed on the HSN.
