The thermal loading is very simple... In contact with the piston made of
aluminum that dissipates heat very well are the following.. Cylinder walls
at probably 180 to 200 degrees, oil a little bit warmer, piston pin and
connecting rod, more important air and fuel during overlap.. With all this
going on it is pretty hard to melt a piston unless the tune-up is a mile off
the fuel completely inappropriate. Sure you can hurt one but an egt of 1750
is not the real problem. By the way most good turbine wheels are ceramic now
and pretty tough to hurt, saying that you can break anything if you have
your mind set on it.
In Skips case I think if he put a blower cam in the engine most of his
problems would go away...An intercooler would be a real plus as well..
