Forgive me for asking but... Isn't quenching is part of the annealing process. Why would tipping hot cases over in water not do that? Also why would standing the case up 3/4 of the way up in cold water not keep the case head from getting hot enough to anneal?
Way back when some motorcycles had solid copper head gaskets and part of the process of putting the engine back together was annealing the gasket. Heat it to a slight glow then drop it in water. I've done more of them than I can recall...
