This thread on polished versus non-polished surfaces and the cooling abilities (or heat transfer) of each type of surface made me come up with another thought. I have always heard that aluminum was able to transfer heat (ie: cools quicker) at greater rate than say steel or tin. If this is in fact the case (I may be WAY wrong here), wouldn't a VW cool better if the cooling tins were made of aluminum? Also, if that's the case, would aluminum valve covers aide in cooling also?
