RE: Cold Crankcase
in a four stroke, the crank case is not cooled by the fuel and will run a bit hotter. Some raw fuel with oil that has condensed at the cylinder walls will however find it's way down from the combustion space to the crankcase, and do the cooling trick. It is amazing how much waste is expelled from the case vent, so there must also have been quite a lot of methanol involved in the blowby process.
