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? |

QUOTE I can't see any point in going to all the trouble of watercooling unless you want to achieve power outputs of close to 100hp per cylinder. Who's getting 400hp out of a type 4? Or did you mean liter, ie 200hp? Andrew |
