Paul :
       My intuition is that, if Wankel produces such high temperatures, it is not because of its design but because it actually works like a two stroke engine.  Were this  the case, the solution would be changing the cycles (both thermic and mechanic) and not by simply increasing the quantity of oil and/or by increasing the radiator/s surface.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The Wankel works as a four
stroke no if and or butts.

One of the reasons the exhaust is hot is there are no exhaust
valves to absorb heat. In a piston engine e 20% of the exhaust
heat goes into the exhaust valves tending to destroy them.

That is why the FAA wants you to check the valve leakage
every year or every 50 hours in your piston aircraft engine.
