What you say makes sense.
Seems kinda smart when at first it seemed kinda dumb.

  Kinda like I posted a week ago.

  "We spend a lot of time bowing low to the short, happy, white jacketed engineers in Japan that created the supra, we tend to run off on our own uneducated flings of fancy, and trying to second guess the _same_ people...." 

  They screwed up on head bolt torque..thats it.

  Consider that smaller passges move a given volume of water faster than larger ones, that will cool MORE than water moving slower in a superheated environment..if you let it move slower, it will flash easier..and that will greatly overheat things. 

  And thats just the beginning of why things MIGHT be like they are.

    Not that I will but wonder if anyone ever tried enlarging the holes in the
    block?
    Mismatched head to block, wow, I cant believe it.
