Overheating from (probabily) untuned carb, what other options are there?

Hey guys, a while ago I got my santaja sj410 engine's rebuild and after fixing some electrical problems something else showed up: temperature fluctuations with the pedal pressed. To be clear, this is not the engine's temperature going to the top and staying there, it's raising to around 2/3s of the scale when pushing the engine hard-ish and coming back to normal (1/3) after some time.

Things I ruled out:

  1. faulty thermostat (both I tried are opening and closing at the correct temperatures),
  2. faulty sender (there are actual fluctuations near the sender and in the oil filter, I tested it with a thermometer),
  3. problem in the head (there is no mix of oil and water), problem in the cooling circuit itself (no leaks).

What I couldn't rule out:

  1. something INSIDE the cooling circuit, even though I purged it again and again (the level of coolant raises and plunges quickly in the expansion bottle),
  2. the radiator is too big for the car/newly installed water pump (I installed it before engine rebuild and it actually stopped the car from overheating when idling, so I don't see it making any sense unless the water pump that was there was stronger than the one they rebuild it with, which I doubt)
  3. The final carb tuning was badly done and it's too rich when revving, which would also explain some (burned) gasoline smell and higher than expected emissions when revving.

Have any of you had a similar problem before? What of the 3 possible causes do you find most likely? I do know how to tune carbs but I'm more used to smaller/simpler engines, so I don't want to mess with it unless I'm positively sure that that's the cause.

Thank you!

Servicing guns in flight

I just found out in a video that the beaufighter's cannons could be reloaded and unjammed by the crew even in flight. Is there any chance gaijin eventually enables that? Since gun turrets can already be reloaded that would be a cool addition, even if as a researchable module.

Model from Dense Point Cloud vs. Depth Maps in metashape

I recently started using Metashape 2 after a few years break and I found some differences to the 1.something version I used, and while most stuff was pretty straightforward I was left with a question. Building the model from Depth Maps seems to be the recommended way, but not only did I not notice any time difference in the process as the models from depth maps are recurrently much much worse. I'm not talking about having a whole lot of stuff that would have been cleaned by working on the dense cloud, but the surface quality being incomparably inferior. Does anyone have better results with this method?

Doubt that has been making me go crazy

I've been changing a template because in some specific pages in my site I need text to be displayed below the title (that is different from page to page). Is there some block I can insert into the template in order to edit it in the page? Inserting the content block just duplicates the main content, I wanted to create another editable area.

Thanks in advance

Any idea of what this might be?

It's incrustated on a rock on a jurassic bed in central Portugal. It measures around 20 cm total. There was a large-ish ammonite close by, but given the state of the cliff they might have come from very different layers (or not).

Glassy olive drab rock found in NW Spain

This is a glassy olive drabe-ish rock, I think it was found in several fragments in northwestern spain. One fragment has some bands of darker/bluer gren and other lighter. Other has one side seems to have something like heavy erosion. I remember seeing other fragments of it as a kid, but I can't find them anymore.

Edit: turns out apparently it's slag
