Do you know of successful air cooled turbo diesel applications? Would'nt
you
be asking for thermal distribution problems in such an engine, along with
the
large mechanical tolerances required to deal with them?

There are air cooled diesels made by Lombardini for use in tractors and
stationary applications. Diesels tend to run cooler than gasoline engines.
Air cooling should work better with a diesel than with a gasoline engine.
