Well done Frans!=0AI don't think much heat goes through the fins on the cyl
inder anyway. All the heat is generated in the cylinder head and goes throu
gh the head into the coolant and through the piston to heat the oil. Probab
ly better to let the bores warm up to match the piston temperature anyway. 
More constant clearances, imho of course.=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A__________
