In this episode of Engine Masters, brought to you by Amsoil, we dive into a well-known fact: higher engine temperatures lead to reduced power. While we thought we understood the mechanics behind this, we’re putting our 598 Chevy big-block through a unique heat challenge to uncover the specifics of how and why heat negatively impacts performance. The findings may surprise you just as much as they surprised us.
