[T3] freezing engines

[Toby B <toby@wolfenet.com>]

Yeah,
	and that's bad.  Engines are designed to run in a particular heat
range.  If they're overcooled, they won't expand to the 'running'
clearances designed for them, and will wear a lot faster.  Rings and
bores, especially.  Also, you won't get as much power (as more energy
from each explosion is spent trying to raise the temperature of the
metal) and emissions will be worse.
	I guess I'm just on a roll.
