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? |

They cool 10% better....I have tested them. Good product. Still not good over 96mm. After that you need Nickies.
The key is a better combination, using a great head and cam match and a smaller bore! I make 185 reliable HP with 96mm cylinders on a weekly basis. |
