Rembember the crankcase is cooled from the inside by the fuel going through it. Altough I agree with most of the posters, start with a stocker first then add the mods one at a time. That way you know what works or not. Just to give you a bench mark, a much modied Homie 25, 16x8 APC, 9100rpm, on a muffler not tuned exhaust.

Most of the heat is in the cylinder. I have a Homelite 30 with a custom crankcase. There are no fins and its polished like a mirror. It doesn't get hot.
