yes Rev, i concur..

@ Adam thanks I was not clear enough here. I was talking about the optimum water temperature of 90deg C that helps the cylinder temp reach auto ignition for proper combustion without encouraging preignition. This assists the cylinder temp before ignition but is is different to the temp at TDC , Temp after ignition and the cylinder exhaust temp..
Pretty much every production car will be regulated there or there abouts 90deg C water temp, although this isn't the optimum temp for engine performance, 90deg C is fine in the cold weather when we want warm heaters. The engine will make more power if we regulate the coolant temperature between 70-80deg C. This is so that instead of wasting heat energy into the cooling system we can use that heat energy to give the crankshaft a bit more of a shove without our engine overheating.
.....pre-ignition .... isn't helped if there is still scavneged exhaust gas left over in the cylinder during the overlap period.
Rev, condensation..? where would this build up..? in the cylinder head/combustion chamber..?
