so it crossed my mind a while ago but i figured i would ask a question that may be obvious to the seasoned builder.
since it is recommended to test an engine at "operating temp" so the operating clearances are achieved,do you just ride the bike and nascar pit crew the damn thing while its hot to install the plugs and pressure/vacume fitting so its as close to operating temp as possible?? or is the whole operating temp thing only important for compression checks?
