While it is running, I haven't run it hard - I am upgrading the turbo. Once that is done I will thrash it and see what happens.
If it runs a lot cooler, I won't know which of the following mods contributed how much:
-Porting the head gasket
-removing the thermostat and using Evan's waterless coolant.
-Fixing an auxiliary coolant pump.
-Adding a much larger oil cooler - taking the old one off the engine cooling circuit.
-The fluid/air intercooler, turbo water and the oil cooler are on a secondary cooling circuit I built with a fan/radiator at the back of the truck.
-Larger turbo (GT-3076R) should lower EGTs.

As for a CAD file, I don't think I should share. Two reasons:
1. I have a slightly different block in my Pinzgauer than what is in a Volvo. Pinz guys I will share, but is at your own risk - and I could even do them and then sell you the thing. If I did a few the cost would go down.
2. What if my new head and block are not the same for porting the head gasket?

I could easily see someone wasting $100 on an MLS gasket, $100 for water-jet cutting and then have it not work - so you have a huge amount of labor to go back and fix it.
I suggest you look at my very first post on this thread and find a way to do what I did for your setup - then you know it will work.
