@Xist, there are hot points in the engine that are already well above 200f. Cylinder walls? Around the valves in the head?

Notice mixing of units. 300f != 300c. 300c is almost 600f.

I imagine 250-300f shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're running a decent oil that doesn't start to burn until 450+.
