First clean the cooling fins thoroughly and give them a coat of heat resistant black paint. Black paint increases heat emission efficiency. (It works on lawnmowers and automobile radiators also.) Then tap into the upper forward water plenum and run a line for cooling water into the exhaust elbow so it squirts water into the drive shaft. If the plug burns white, switch to a J4C. . . 😉
