Ed that seems the only answer. Even though the engine parts run cooler, the combustion chamber runs hotter.

As far as the dry lube, it sure would make nice insurance in case of oil starvation.

Bobcat, they also didn't put an engine under a hood on a 95 degree day then drive for an hour and get measurements.

Didn't Smokey Y attempt to build a motor without a cooling system?
