No, you have that backward, lean is hot, too much fuel cools things off.

Is it possible the pistons melted for some reason other than a lean
condition? I can't explain why those four vehicles melted pistons
since I haven't seen them- but I can't imagine it being caused by a
lean condition. Lean = cold, rich = hot EGTs in a diesel. Surely
someone else can back me up on this? I have tuned several modified
diesels with an EGT gauge, and lean equals less smoke, low EGTs, less
power, and rich equals more smoke, high EGTs, more power.
Perhaps those engines were actually running too rich, were being
lugged, or had their injection timing set incorrectly?
