Cool, it's nice to know why the bigger engines produce more heat -- thanks for
the info. It explains my problems (aside from my increased compression) and
also (in my opinion) gives the blessing for external oil cooler setup to help
with the extra heat that's radiated.

Just a thought, but 92's are just too big for decent cooling on a type3. =
=20
I've heard this way too many times too ignore. The bigger pistons have=20
so much surface area on the barrels that the fan and cooling tin on an=20
otherwise stock motor will be insufficient to cool the motor to within=20
suggestable parameters. If you want displacement, go with a stroker=20
crank if you can afford it, and try to stick to 88 pistons. This was=20
professed to me straight from the Berg's mouths so I trust it.
