Looks awesome and makes me miss my shorty. Quick question - did you ever install a pyrometer (EGT) gauge? On my 4M40 that was an important gauge for me when towing my trailer in the rocky mountains. It acted like a distant early warning when the temp was rising. I could stave off engine overheating by pulling over and letting it cool down a bit on the EGT before it ever affected the coolant temp. Most important gauge IMHO. Maybe you installed one early on in your thread and I missed it, but if not, cheap insurance against another overheat.

Cheers and happy wheeling!

Thanks, I got them for next to nothing with some garbage tyres on them, cleaned them up with some paint and they're much better. I fear for the valve getting bust off as it comes through from behind the spokes and is a bit vulnerable

I didn't get around to it, and ideally I should because I've the boost and fuelling wound up a fair bit. Might drill a hole in the EGR blanking plate and put a thermocouple in there to see what kind of temperature I get, I know when I wrecked the last engine I was towing a huge trailer up a slightly long Hill with my foot buried into the floor on the loud pedal. It started leaking coolant again so I'm being hyper vigilant on it these days
