Backed by a no-charge extendable one-year warranty , these kits deliver 27 % more pressure and scavenge volume over stock , 42 % more scavenge volume through port sizing , matched passages and holes to the engine case and 68 % more oil volume to the crankshaft and connecting rod bearing . " They are proven to cool engine temperatures by 15-25 degrees and reduce oil temperatures by between 15-30 degrees with 10-30 more PSI of oil pressure "; www . feulingparts . com
