I believe what he is talking about is that the liners on the inline 53 series engines have air flowing around a large part of their length instead of water. Too, since they utilize a port scavaging design where air is blown into and through the cylinder as it's being charged, a good amount of heat is carried away with air instead of water. As far as the heating is concerned these engines pack alot of ump in a small package and he's right, they don't always heat up as much as many other engines do in vehicle applications where air movement is achieved as much through the movement of the vehicle as it is through the fan.
In this case the power unit will be stationary and running at 1800 RPM with about 80% to 90% rated load on it full time. That being the case there should be no reason it won't heat up to a normal operating temp like it should do. As it is, running it the other day with no load, the water temp hovered around 140-160 degrees. Even at that, it ought to be enough to keep the operator warm during the winter months, so with it loaded and running about 20 degrees or so hotter, I dont forsee any problems.
