Can you say fragged pistons?

Not a problem with a SMALL shot(50-75hp). A SO with a good exaust system would be making HP similar to a HO... Still it takes carefull tuning to ensure durability...

You don't want to hit them with a buck and a half shot though...

The oil cooler won't open if the oil itself is really cold. It's self regulating.

M-6642-S101
Unique patented “stacked-plate” design provides efficiency improvement of 35% over “fin-and-tube” coolers. This 8" x 11" x 1.5" unit has a heat rejection rate of 20,500 BTU’s per hour. The self-regulating feature bypasses cold engine oil automatically (without thermostats or valves) until oil viscosity decreases and allows oil to flow through the main body of the cooler. Kit includes all fittings, attaching hardware and instructions. Use on engines with FL-1A filters.

I remember those first few mins of driving around every day in the winter yield power UNLIMITED! Or so it seems
