    I couldn’t tell you the numbers but I have always seen higher temps in close to the plugs. If you study the way a head is cast and where the water actually touches it, it’s always amazed me that the run as cool as they do.

    When our old motors were built, there were no laser guns. They had the Themomelt sticks, which were a go-no go test. The manual always showed WHERE on the block to make this test. That’s all the engineers cared about for we knuckle-dragging mechanics to test; and it should remain good enough, today, I think.

    Long live American manufacturing!
