So what item?, the heads or the cylinders have more of an impact on engine performance and longevity when properly cooled?
If someone had a bolt-on kit for watercooling, would you rather have watercooled heads or watercooled cylinders? What temperature do the cylinders get to while the engine is working? |

So, what can you do to an alloy head to make it cooler? Mount it on a cooler cylinder? You'd have to do something about them, and it seems like that would be the obvious first step, the weakest link.
Cast iron is good for cooking, it holds heat like a jealous bitch. No offense to all the jealous bitches out there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) M |
