How High is the Temperature of an Air-Cooled Motorcycle Engine?

[DeEmersyn]

The combustion chamber of an engine can reach temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Celsius during operation, while the engine oil temperature can surpass 100 degrees Celsius. Hottest Components: The hottest parts of the engine, such as the cylinder head, cylinder block, and piston, can reach temperatures around or above 100 degrees Celsius. This is their normal operating temperature and poses no issues. Sometimes, water splashed on the cylinder head will evaporate immediately. Dangers of Overheating: If the engine overheats beyond normal limits, it can cause severe wear due to burning and erosion of high-temperature components like the cylinder block, piston, piston rings, crankshaft connecting rod, and valve rocker arm. This occurs because of excessive heat, reduced clearances, and poor lubrication.
