just was thinking...

copper supposedly has a thermal conductivity, twice that of aluminium.

I realize heads made out of copper would not last long... and it would make em heavier
But what about copper plating the cooling fins on say the heads, or cyllinders??

wouldn't that improve cooling, eg ,copper sucking out the heat from the alumium fins and releasing it to the cooling air???
