I ran one of those motors in my savage.... It ALWAYS ran hot ... Every owner after me of the engine has disocvered the same thing. And after it losses some pinch it will drop in temp too....

Mine had 2 gallon on it when i loaned it out and it had pinch... When i sold it with like 4 it was still tight....
What fuel you run... I found it didnt like 20% hpi fuel. When i switched to 30% O'donell tunning was way easier and temps dropped

more power and better throttle response, as well as cooler temps with 30%.

leave it the way it is and just go to 30%, it should be good.

I personally didn't like Trinity 30% Platinum. I would try Byrons, best fuel I have run so far.
