Went to the AARN Motorsports show yesterday and saw some odd plumbing on 
an engine in one of the booths. I think it was Bicknells booth. Anyway; 
the water pump was plumbed with lines running from the pump block inlets 
to the water passage between the center cylinders. Looking at the 
combustion chambers this puts the line right into the passage between 
the exhaust valves.  The lines were small, don't think they could have 
been even 3/8 I.D. Is this a real hot spot in the head? Sitting in a 
sprint or dirt car there's plenty of room to do it. In a production body 
it 's pretty tight around the plugs and exhaust pipes so is this 
plumbing worth it?
