LoL.

Glow plug engines are glow plug engines. They all operate the same way (burn fuel and produce power (work). It makes sense to me (I must be dumb) that an engine burning no nitro will have a leaner needle setting and thus a hotter head temp than an engine burning a lot of nitro which would require a much richer needle and thus having a significantly higher amount of fuel going through the engine. Adding oxygen to the fire makes it hotter, but more oxygen means more fuel which means more methanol vaporizing and cooling the engine. As for oil cooling - sure it helps carry away some heat... But the oil having a substantial impact on heat dissipation? I doubt that. But I'm not as smart as you fellas. If anyone has any published information as to prove any of this one way or another, please share. I haven't found any data to prove any of this one way or another.

I knew I should have gone to college..
