Hey -- let's start a new endless thread!

Can you shock-cool an engine in summer?

If you start with the assumption that shock-cooling is a real phenomenon(?),
just play with some numbers. Say a typical summer temp is 80 degF and winter is
30 degF, and your cylinders are typically at 350 degF. So the delta-T is 270
degF in summer and 320 degF in winter. The summer delta-T is about 85 percent of
the winter delta-T. Not that much different.

Before someone complains, yes, of course, my choice of numbers is arbitrary. You
can pick different numbers and make it come out any way you like. Plug in the
numbers you think are typical.
