Tony, those aircraft engines are based on designs from the 1930s
generally, and some of them have valvetrains well over a foot long, of
alloys that were not optimized for less expansion.
    Have you heard on of those old planes start up on a cold morning?
Sets your teeth on edge, it does.

By the way, I assume everyone is familiar with Aircraft Spruce?
