I would start with looking at the plugs, my right side manifold red hot, pulled plugs and all four on right side have some oil fouling and the left side not glowing and the plugs not oil fouled. Im sure it needs some rings on the rights side as this engine was overheated once real bad. I upped my jets and left my timing alone at 36. It ran much better. I am going to do a compression test to make sure. My belief is that oil in the combustion chamber with a leaner mix raises temperature.
