According to Bingelis, which ever school of thought you use, make it the

Increased oil flow would help. But where are you going to get the oil from? The
liquid cooled heads are cooled from within. To pump a lot of oil into the
rocker covers could cause problems. Plus all that oil.has to get back into the
crank case. Oil provides 30 to 40 percent of engine cooling
