To make any significant use of the coolant heat, the motor block needs to work at insane temperatures, which would massively decrease the lifetime of the cylinders. Exhaust gas heat is somewhat usable, but it would be more efficient/effective to simply underload the cylinders so that the exhaust leaves the cylinder much cooler in the first place. | |
