Tommy,
That sounds like a good idea.  The temperatures do cool down substantially while gliding down for a landing.

Guys, Try this...If the engine is hot on take off...200*+ or so, stay in the pattern at 1000agl with reduced power asap.  Then make a  long easy gliding approach during which the temp will come down substantially. Then, you can break off the decent and climb out again at a safer  temp. This has worked for me several times.
