Make a joke and I will sigh, and you will laugh, and I will cry.

And what would the advantage of this be ? It seems, even on a fully finned air-cooler, the tolerances have to be slacker than liquid cooled equivalents, with the subsequant loss of horsepower. How much worse would it be on that stubby finned thing ? When I was a kid riding small capacity air cooled KTMs, I experimented with converting them to liquid cooling, in the quest for tighter tolerances and more consistant power output. (never particularly succesful, as the barrel and head were enclosed seperately, and linked with external pipes. Not conducive to equal heat transfer, which was the entire object of the exercise. . . . ).
I'm not being facetious, this is a genuine question. Why would anyone want to take such a backwards step in technology ?
