Yes but aren't m96 inherently hot-running even with OEM parts? If you're going to push the engine harder with aftermarket stuff, while using a 'conventional' oil, and no other augmented safeguards, aren't you inching the car closer towards unsafe temps on a fairly routine basis? In other words, If there is an 'event', the usual margin or buffer is no longer thus reaching a threshold breaking point more likely.

i'm not an engine engineer I just play one TV.
