Lately, I keep hearing about leaving the piston at BDC. I've not taken time to do that. What does it do??
It allows you piston and sleeve to cool at their own pace and won't let the sleeve cool and wrap around the piston which would cause severe stress when re-firing.

You should all Pre heat your engines also. Wether it's with a comp heater or something else it will save allot of stress on your rod and bearings
