If you think about the way it is designed, the location of the hottest
point depends on the design of the head gasket. If the head gasket has
most of the flow going up at the rear and just a trickle in the front
portion, then the hottest point will be at cylinder one. If there is a
lot of upward flow near the front and little at the rear, the hottest
point will be cylinder 4. If you take water out at the heater port you
will encourage flow to #4, but #1 will receive less water, so it will be
hotter. With a little experimentation, the size of the holes could
probably be optimized so that 1 and 4 are at the same temperature.. I
think the stock gaskets cause #4 to be hottest. I like the way Mordy
does the holes in his gaskets with big holes at the back.
