hitting warm metal with cold water will do what? Remember your chemistry classes?

Actually, it's more than smoke. Metal expands as it heats, then the extremely rapid cooling and subsequent contraction will cause it to become brittle and crack.

off and cold, I just did it and after I rinsed, reveresed the hose on my shop vac, and blew the extra water out from around my coils. Worked perfect, and then I used plastic/vinyl detailing spray on the obvious parts. I was scared to do it, but I am very happy I did.
