I love the LML, but it is "hard" to see how one minute there is an opinioon
that shock cooling does noit exist, and the previous opinion, is it is a real
problem.

Opinions are no substitute for science. We seemed to have forgotten that here in America where everyone has an opinion but took no science class after 7th grade.

Having expressed my opinion on shock cooling, I will defer to the many of you with well more experience and hands-on inspections that counter my observations. I say this in complete honesty: I've seen scored cylinder walls and trashed piston rings--that I attributed to shock cooling--but without establishing this specific cause/effect relationship. Such rigor was probably not possible at the time, but in any case I didn't pursue it. Walter's "normal" inspection results from engines that had been operated to generate "shock cooling" would seem to establish that this was not the cause of the cylinder scoring I reported. I defer.
