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 we all hate cast iron cylinders. How tough would it be to add a water jacket to these??
My only objection to Nickies is the cost - and the fact that they can't be machined when they are done with how ever long they are good for (is that correct??). If you are going to run a water circuit, it wouldn't be hard to add cooling for the cylinders once they are able to do something with the water. Possible? Not worth it? Fiid. |
