If some one came up with something that wrapped the block then that would be worth the money.Wrapping the head is stupit and there's nothing anyone can say about that.YOUR NOT HEATING YOUR PISTON AND SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Think about it.
Yeah....

You ever hear of conductive heat transfer? The heat source is at the cooling head fins, but the heat is transferred throughout the entire engine. If left on for more than 15 - 20 minutes, you will actually get a good heat soak into the chassis.

Why don't you try one out before making a statement such as this, or just leave the reviews to those who have actually used them....
