Good & Bad

[30Three]

Might be worth checking the radiator efficiency. 14 years old; it could be slightly blocked. What temp does the fan cut in? you could change the switch to a lower operating temp; that would help.
A friend of mine was running a Blackbird in Abu Dhabi and we would often be out in 40°C ambient temps. I don't remember any issues with the bike even in the city.

For the plugs that are set deep in the head; once loosened, i usually use a piece of rubber hose pushed down on to the plug to spin them out. This is also great for fitting the new ones; no chance of crossing the thread as the hose will spin on the plug if it starts to jam in the thread.
if you want a big job doing plugs! try doing one of these! Engine needs to come out for the plugs and cam cover gaskets etc (about 70 hours). 10 points for anyone that can tell what car it's from?
