Yes, that's right Greg. One of the conrods was bent slightly all this time so it was no wonder I was never able to sort the problem.
Ironically, the engine runs too cold now LOL. I'm waiting on an oil cooler thermostat to arrive at Vintage VeeDub so I can get that fitted and get the 500km oil change done at the same time. Takes too long to warm up fully for now, but tops out at 90 deg C at 100 km/hr up and down hills.
Doesn't even have a fan on the cooler; just air flow from driving. Perhaps I should have fitted the cooler a long time ago, but I just knew there was some underlying problem that I hadn't found.
