not starting 57 hemi when HOT fixed

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hey, my guess was closer than DB's!  I was lucky!

I was ready to mention here that an overheating engine could partially seize as 
DB said, sometimes without permanent damage.  The pistons (made out of 
aluminum) expand faster than the block, and can "grab".  When the engine cools, 
it may start just fine again!  This should not be directly related to oil 
pressure though.  Heat can only affect oil pressure through the loss of 
viscosity, but this effect cannot be enough to damage the engine.  The oil 
cooler is usually needed for high speed driving when the oil is sheared heavily 
in the bearings and pistons.  At idle, the only temperature loading to the oil 
is through piston cooling, and based on my experience on my 440s, the oil is 
fairly cool at idle.
