Glider tugs which are abused by reducing power too much, too quickly will crack heads. If you do not call that shock cooling fair enough!
They often add very efficient cowl flaps to reduce airflow through cowlings to reduce this. If it is not the quick cooling during the descent after a hot climb then what causes it!
We have even gone to Chevies to try to find a solution.
