There is a saying - measure twice and cut once! When problem's arise, think them through carefully before you jump - eggs... sucking... teach you... etc.
Problems have to be solved at root cause, not at symptom level. One thing that will serve anyone well in racing is to know how to analyse what the car is doing, and then think through why that is happening. That's when asking others helps so much - they might not be right but they will give you nuggets of information.
Just to rub salt into the wounds and patronise you further (!!) there were posts on here saying people were running the D4 at 80mm/rev, higher than you, but they didn't complain of overheating. There's a clue that says you are generating too much heat in the motor.
The question that was crying out to be asked was "what makes a motor overheat?" Armed with those answers I am certain you could have worked out what I said above.
I've re-read this a couple of times and it still sounds crap, so apologies for that. I mean nothing by it, just trying to give you other tips on race cars and getting the best from them with the help of your racing buddies. And that sounds even worse so now I am in this hole I am going to stop digging!! Best of luck on Thursday.
