Why the exhaust gaskets burn in the first place? Manual timing .. it’s impossible to have proper timing in all rpm ranges manually, it’s why Ford went to mechanical advance with the “new and improved” 4cylinder of 1932..proper timing, increased compression and more fuel all help the engine run efficiently, which yields a cooler running engine.. sounds crazy that hopping it up yields a cooler running engine, but it does..
