In my experience I'd say not.

Heli engines have a bigger head (heat sink) and are designed to cool without propwash so would never get to the correct operating temp. Unless you had in hidden in a cowling perhaps but the short shaft on a heli engine may make this difficult.

Heli engines have a higher rpm too and produce more torque. I think they are more like a nitro car engine than a plane engine.

Finally, why the hell would you want to?
