Timming? Fueling?

I think the timing and fueling were fine. It has more to do with that little radiator not handling hot Durban track days

Ya, that would be it I think. New radiator is in now but I guess it was too late.

There was, he could do 2 laps then it was in the red. It was the repeatedly going into the red that killed the head.

It hardly ever got into the red (I stopped before then) but it got close a good few times.
