Just playing with ideas. If it would work satisfactorily, I'd much rather have the water cooling aspect take the brunt of the load and avoid installing an oil cooler. If I had a water coolant leak it's a much smaller deal than having a sudden large oil leak and loss of oil pressure.

As you noted, there wouldn't be a large temperature differential making it less than ideal and perhaps useless unless oil temps climbed into the 240s+.
