Hi, Big Tone.

I thought the other guys would have screamed by now about pouring boiling water into a room-temperature block. I"ve always had the impression that hot water should be introduced into a cold block (and cold water into a hot block) at a trickle to avoid cracking the block via thermal stress. But I"ve never actually seen a block crack that way, so maybe I"m wrong.

Then again, if you"re putting the water in through the water jacket, maybe it is just a trickle.
