Any updates?
Check the coolant itself with a hydrometer. It's my understanding (I may be wrong) that too much antifreeze to water ratio will hurt the cooling...
It's your main Jet. I bet you unscrewed the main jet orifice, but did you take out the jet out that's under it. The jets under the main jet...
Drain some fuel into a clear container and see if there is water in there.
Oh, size does matter... it was common knowledge in my hot rod days that cubic inches was the cheapest way to gain HP. Nitrous is the second. I...

Just realized the clutch push rod is missing from the vf1000f engine. Does anyone know if the VF700f push rod is the same?

Is the only difference in exhaust is the rear is a little farther apart? Well instead of buying a new exhaust or building a custom header, I'll...
Valve covers are bare aluminum in color. Besides a wider clutch cover, the engine looks just like my 85' VF700f.
