Also with the oil being atomized by
the slinging in the crankcase, water will evaporate at a good rate while
below the boiling point.

Bravo Sir! Brilliant! Even at 1500 rpm, there is a hurricane of wind
in the crankcase that would make Katrina seem like a Summer breeze. And
at 60-90 psi of oil pressure, the oil is being pumped through the
engine like a firehose. Who said it is just sitting in the bottom of
the pan?

I would love to see some scientific data on the
evaporation rate vs. oil temp.

So would I!
