Updated SPITFIRE HEADER INSTALL 63-66 A-body

The theory & anecdotal testimony is that on cold days/nites shutting down
the engine hot w/open headers creates a natural convection draft thru any open
valves.primarily ones on overlap thus subjecting the very hot exh valve to uneven
thermal stress as colder air ends up pulling past. warped valve, crap compression
burned valve after a few more runs. thats it
thanks for the explanation. i was still wondering even though i asked the question in july of 2013. lol #-o
