start by checking oil level is correct and is good oil ... renew with a thicker grade oil if necassary .. check the coolant level is correct and use a good anti-freeze to aid cooling ... also check you are not getting fuel burning in the new bore exhaust manifold !!!

you need to buy another exhaust (standard or big bore) that was made for the rover 25 series !!
