RE: HEADER TEMP

Well, considering that the combustion temperatures can reach 1500 degrees F, it would only make sense that your headers would get that hot that quick. It's perfectly normal.

RE: HEADER TEMP

Well heres what I think, this might not be right but it is just an observation.

The inner 2 cylinders are surrounded by a cylinder on each side. The outer 2 cylinders only have one cylinder adjacent to it. Result might be that the inner 2 cylinders will feel some of the heat generated by the outer 2 cylinders but the outer 2 cylinders will only feel heat from a SINGLE adjacent cylinder. Which is maybe why the inner 2 could be hotter than the outer 2. I guess...[&:]
