Good idea is to get the cooler cleaned done by someone with an ultrasonic cleaner,reason I asked is that your motor is very low mileage and most likely has suffered for that reason,slow runs to the shops to buy the a ice cream,etc or just limited warm -ups due to short runs,your cooler will most likely have oil vanish on the inside of the tubes best to get that out for a modest cost.
People call these air cooled motors but the real cooling is done by oil cooler,thats the key point.
Good luck with your build  .
