What is the history of your O.E. cooler?
Came with the motor. I flushed the inside with oil and made sure the outside had no obstructions that would block air passage when I rebuilt the motor. I did not have it ultrasonicly cleaned.
I am using a EuroRace header, and the drivers side pipes do pass right under the oil pan, so that can't be helpful.
So, right now, these are the actions I am going to take:
1) Cap the stubby vents that are supposed to go to the heaters that currently just vent to open air, and see if that puts more air into the tins.
2) Try to add a little more advance to the timing (go from 28* to 30* and see what happens).
3) add a little header wrap or header blanket to the pipes that cross under the engine case.
Do the experts here see any issues with this plan?

Advanced timing creates heat.
Keep a close eye on the heat and move one degree at a time..same day, same run on the highway and you might get it.
Put some header tape on...it may help.
My son just put tape on his motorcycle pipes...you can now touch them.
No way to touch them prior, so it really does work.
Amazon sells it online...that is where he got it.
