notice you have the preheats blocked off...... do you think they are not really needed for our climate ?????
i only ask as my preheats from the muffler have a few rust holes in them and i wondered how to repair them or even if i should just block them off as you have....

Yes there blocked as i am running a Jack Braham Lukey extractor system 36hp type which doesn't have heat risers of the tube

The 40hp system has them fitted

They certainly make your engine warm faster when fitted and working correctly, but finding an inlet manifold with out a blocked pre heat pipe is very hard

Also i have the Judson Super charger fitted which will make it warm up faster

Probably if i was in the snowy area might have them fitted
