just for your guys info, the new FD rotor housings here in japan, so im assuming they do in the states as well, have these machined grooves into the water jackets around the spark plug holes. I used FD housings when I rebuilt my FC..I cant testify as to if they help or not, but I have a 3 core koyo rad, streetported motor, perma-cool 1600 cfm fan running constantly, and i never saw above 80C on my water temp guage

I had it done, $200
Like the others said, hard to quantify since I did so many upgrades when putting the new engine in, but my engine builder did it to all his 12A bridgeport race engines.

guess I should have checked back on this thread earlier. Anyways, putting grooves in the water jackets should be similar to putting a heat sink on a computer chip, if you're familiar w/ electronics. It should help dissipate heat better. I was just reluctant to try it because I didn't want to blow a a bunch of money on something that might not work. I think that I might just save the money and put it towards ceramic coatings. I have heard a lot of good stuff about em'.
