RE: 1.6L Block Modifications?

["Hall, Phillip" <Phillip.Hall@msfc.nasa.gov>]

If I remember right the NASCAR guys and other small block chevy racers put a
water line from the water pump and drill/tap a hole in the head between the
2 and 3 cylinder exhaust ports.  This pulls out extra heat produced by
having the two cylinders exhaust ports together.  I don't know if the 1600
needs this - I don't think so.
