<VV> was Steele Gaskets - now raising the lid

[J R Read]

Ya See, now this one bothers me a bit.  Do we have evidence that a faster 
cool down is better than a slower cool down?  Or, is it more a heat sink 
problem which in effect raises the engine temp after it is shut down?

Isn't the dropped seat phenomenon at least somewhat related to the number of 
heat - cool cycles?  And wouldn't "faster" cooling lead to a greater number 
of and somewhat more pronounced cycles?

I have no answers on this, but perhaps there is someone on VV who can help 
to enlighten me and others - with some hard evidence regarding the better 
way to go.

Later, JR

Hi Jeff,

 I'm following the practice of opening the deck lid every time I shut her 
down, regardless of what the last drive was like in terms of duration, 
speed, or difficulty. (There are some rather steep hills in the area of PA 
where we now live.)

Thanks,
