What do you mean "Shut them down quickly" If I am following you correctly that's the worst thing you can do. Most all old MM mechanics and factory techs agree and have come to the conclusion that the engine needs to warm up slowly and shut down slowly. Also the valves can be running white hot.and the only way they are cooled is when they sit on the seat. If you shut off a hot engine (depending on the number of cyl there is always one or two exh valves that are not touching the seat) and you will warp a valve. I always run an engine (any engine) just above an idle for several seconds, or if working hard several minutes. Lots of times if plowing would let idle go do chores and then shut off. I have never cracked a head. MMDEL
