Global+engine issues = skint

I know the Globals with the self destructive motor tendences, stock 2006 motors with heat exchanger removed and separate oil coolers fitted, every thing possible was done to keep everything cool, fuel, oil, water the final time one of them blew up the lambda was spot on, water temp very good and oil temp very good, the failures in the end I believe were down to, the side pod ducts had a extra rad fitted in one and a oil cooler fitted in the other, those side pod ducts orginally guided air flow over the exhausts and the front of the engine, I believe that by blocking up the said ducts and blowing hot air in it just pushed the motors over the limit, I think the motors were on the limit of what they could do weight wise, the Jedis are 100kg lighter and do not have these issues, the issues got more apparent and regular when the extra rads/coolers were fitted. Older motor being refitted in to one of the cars, hoping to be out in 2012.
