Default Head Temperature

On an ABC engine, you want your head temp to be 350 degrees F or above. Much cooler and the sleeve and piston won't expand the way they are designed. That will cause excessive wear on the piston crown and cylinder sleeve. My understanding is ringed motors can afford to run much cooler since there's no "pinch" at TDC to worry about.
