Most of me is in IL but my hearts in Alaska
I would like a inline six.
Would there be a advantage to a water jacket six with cooling fins built into the block ?
I’m thinking with a water jacket would help eliminate hotspots and even the heat distribution.
Fins of course would disperse heat like in any air cooled engine.
Would a radiator even be needed ?
