What steps can I take in my BJ8 to make it steer easier. I have a new worm =
gear but have not installed it yet. I have filled the box with thick oil to=
prevent leaking.

Randy,
first of all I would recommend to search for the reason, why your BJ7 is ge=
tting a lot more hot recently.
I had a similar problem with my 100 some years ago. After almost 10 years d=
riving around without any overheating, even when being stuck in traffic jam=
in Vienna with 30 deg C outside or driving up the Austrian mountains in su=
mmertime. The temperature gauge never showed anything more than 180 deg F (=
app 85 deg C). Maybe the louvred bonnet did help too.
Then all of a sudden my 100 started with overheating problems, went that ho=
t, that the engine began to sputter and later quit working and only could b=
e restarted after cooling down. This happened in slow traffic and in the mo=
untains.
I checked and fixed one thing after the other: carbs, ignition, radiator, h=
ead and exhaust gasket, water pump, thermostat, ... I even exchanged the co=
mplete exhaust system just to be sure that there is no problem coming from =
this point.
Throughout all this my mechanic always told me to install an electric fan a=
nd all problems would be gone. The only concession I made is a six blade fa=
n, which did help a little, but did not cure the problem.
During one last drive I heard some noise and we found out that it came from=
a main bearing which destroyed the crankshaft. And while the engine is out=
he could search for the real cause for the overheating and found out that =
it came from the rocker gear.
Conclusion:
Starting with no problems and then from one point having a lot of difficult=
ies made me oppose to install an electric fan and rather search for the rea=
l cause. My experience is that in the climate zone I live in my 100 should =
run without, except if you race your car.
Good luck
Reinhart
