I liked your explanation about diferences in air cooled/water cooled engine differences. (always learning, thank you.)

But, clarify this for me: those inlet controls, or cooling gills that you mention, they work by controling the amount of air that passes through someting, correct? Either cooling the water, or passing by the engine surface, wright?
And if they have more diferences, please clarify.

(Just asking because i dont have sure, not trying to prove anything or argue)
