Super Cool Tins - proof

Post by Glenn »

For years, vendors have been marketing Type 3 cylinder tins as "Super Cool" tins for Type 1 engines. People in the know, know that these are not suitable for Type 1 and have argued the point that if they were better, the VW factory would of used them.

Well, here's proof that don't work.

For those that can't see the small words:
