I presume the exhaust side needs more flow then ? Also the further you get away from the water pump the hotter it gets ?

1 yes

2 nope the other way around......................

Thats a bit of a suprise to be honest. I would have thought it would get hotter as it moves across the head towards the outlet ?

nope

 

 

it is common on ace engines to go down on outlet coolant pipe dia to slow coolant egress at the rear of the engine - even Caterham did that on their K installs - honda does it with OEM K20a installs, but it's not enough..............

The smaller outlet slows the flow down then ? In an ideal world i presume you need an even temp across the head at the best temp for efficency ?

Exactly

 

which means even cylinder and piston temps which means ideal ign adv on all 4 cylinders = best torque, and most of all no hotspots to bend the head and cause what people call "HGF" - but you all know now has nothing to do with the gasket.
