>Air-to-water intercooler inside of the intake manifoldI'm sure it functions, but what the hell, man? Everytime I see picrel it boggles my mind. I get it, there's air flowing there and it saves space for more engine and suspension but... goddamn.
>>28981941No one can beat a based k series at being reliable
>>28981973Rover k series from the metro? Pretty sure they loved eating head gaskets.
