True that the engine department is designed to withstand heat, but when your car is stationary, there is no moving air to cool the internals, resulting in heat soak. Same reason why you need a big ass fan in front of the car and open the bonnet when you do a dyno run. Any method to dissipate heat at a higher rate will definitely be beneficial. Sometimes after a long/hard run, I don’t turn off the engine immediately when I reach home. Let it run for a few minutes to cool down further. Yea…yea…I am cheapo…should get a timer.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> I don’t think there is any scientific or mathematical way of calculating how long you can lengthen the lifespan of any parts in your car by doing this, but i think most of us here do try to take care of our cars as much as possible. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> not very hard to open the bonnet and let the hot air ‘escape’.  Anyway…just my 2 cents. Hope I didn’t ruffle any feathers. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
