I saw two things in the last photo of your engine bay but they may have changed.

First, the engine had no sealing tinwear around it to isolate the fan intake from the hot air around the exhaust. The fan needs cool air to cool the engine. The photo might be out of date of course.

Second, the case had an adapter connected to the oil cooler ports. The short hose linked the output back into the input. I couldn't see any oil cooler on the engine. A t4 with no oil cooler will overheat the oil which is used to cool the bottom end.

Both these issues will overheat the engine but perhaps I missed something
