Another way to help cool the rear of the engine is to drill/tap the forward 3 cooling holes on each side of the block. This forces more coolant to the rear of the block, up into the rear of the...

From what I’ve heard, he’s conflating the wage+benefits figure as “pay.” So your salary is quite a bit less than what’s stated.
