<VV> Overheating - Deflashing Heads

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Bill,

A few thoughts.  First, you do have to take the top and lower shrouds off to de-flash.  I think for in the car a good tool would be a keyhole saw, you can find some other info here that may help:

I would change the oil right away, if it did get that hot it hurt the oil.

Good luck!
