Can't argue with that reasoning and experimentation Pe. Do you think this process would also take place at lower temps, say 100*C??
I have been killing all my 2 cycle engines with the choke at idle for years, after a cool down period.
On my dads ranch we never shut down any of the large diesels without a good cool down period.
Air cooled engines that are asked to do some work never run at such low temperatures, unless extremely rich. Under these conditions they will fail on you because of internal fouling due to the very dirty combustion process.
