Really BAD IDEA..
because....
at least half the cooling for the valves is provided by being in good contact with the head..AS you go towards.... BUT BEFORE YOU GET TO HARD STARTING....
you slowly have less forceful contact between the valves and the head.... thus your likely to BURN VALVES as you get closer to ' hard starting ' symptoms'.....
and you will not know it until the damage has already been done...
