Check fleabay Uk and UK aircooled forums for secondhand oil cooler parts.

Try to fnd some circuit racer contacts for second hand parts from them as can be dirt cheap.

Fibreglass kits are cheap at Bunnings so could make your own air scoop for the engine grills.

And a deep sump is my last idea :)

Change regularly and keep clean engine oil up to full level and check weekly.

Keep the revs up and don't lug the engine by being in a high gear and low revs. Revs keeps the fan moving and cooling.
