Well, the engine has signs of increased friction due to overheating.

It is possible that is working extremely lean, at least for brief periods of time, which increases the temperature.

However, the cooling system should be working hard after those overheating episodes happen.

It is just not normal that the cylinders feel super-hot, while the temperature gauge is reading cool.

What I am trying to point out is that the cooling response does not correspond with the extra heat generation.
