Later cyrix 686L is too cold.
Or athlon 2100 XP, healthy 70W of heat in tiny area.

What about hooking up cray XP to heat that oil and crank away the
statras data and heat up that diesel's oil in the process?

footnote:
Bush pilots withdraw their engine oil and keep it indoors.
Heat it up and fill engine w/ hot oil just before aircraft's engine
startup.
