That is not completely correct. The oil system in the M96/97 normally operates under about five inches of vacuum (to afford better low tension ring sealing), where water boils well below 212F. Add in the fact that normal oil temps are always higher than the coolant temp, and the water is easily removed under normal driving. UoA's before and after going to a 160F stat have confirmed this.
