This seems to be a well debated topic here, almost to choosing sides, but as a newbie there is something that I still don't get.
I understand running exhaust heat, because it will be hot right off the bat...so helps eliminate condensation...right?
But water heat would take many minutes before it was warmed up...even longer before the hot water got to the intake and heated up the surrounding metal enough to even help.
So why water heat? Am I missing something? To me it seems that by the time the water was hot enough, the engine would already be warmed up and it wouldn't be needed.
I am asking this because I just got my recommeded shopping list from Langdons and I need to plan a few things out for when this whole intake/exhaust part of the engine needs to be updated.
Thanks
