Here's an interesting question. Considering the exhaust heat of the rotary is so much higher than a Lycoming, if doing a side-by-side comparison of the two with equal fuel burn rates, wouldn't the Lycoming have more engine heat to remove from under the cowl than the rotary?

I think this one is a no-brainer, but my mother often said the same about me...
