Just another two cents thrown in. When talking about the temps of the cylinder, consider where we take the temp reading. Mostly deep in the head or some use the spark plug ring, but both at the least point of cooling. While this is the customary location to get the readings, it's not the temp of the entire cylinder. I might be wrong but I would think these are the hottest points of the cylinder, not the temp of the entire cylinder. To know if you're glazing the hone lines you'd have to measure the barrel temps and to know if you're breaking down the molecular structure on the metal you'd have to measure the temps of the entire cylinder, not just the hottest point.
The same applies to the oil temps. The oil in the sump is far hotter then the oil temp reading at the oil filter adapter. This oil can be as much as 40 degrees hotter.
