Nah, you shouldn't tune an engine that's already infamous for blowing head gaskets, plus if the engine got hot enough to melt the plastic and circulate it through the oil system what did it do to the rubber seals in the engine, if the engine had a traditional spin on filter instead of that cartridge with a plastic pickup, would the seal have melted and spewed oil out everywhere?
