What Aluminum is used to make cylinder heads?
350C is low in my opinion, since I would think that the top surface of the piston will reach at least 500C, since the exhaust temperature reaches that temperature. Can someone confirm to me, that during the induction stroke, does the entire chamber and top of piston gets cooled rapidly...- mikeseli

What Aluminum is used to make cylinder heads?
I don't know if I'm approaching this the right way, but doesn't an aluminum head or any head in general get exposed to temperatures of 1000F+ during the combustion process? I know that they last a fraction of a second but after a while the head's combustion area will reach a temperature steady...- mikeseli
