If oil is too hot it gasses. YOu get vapor lock I guess. Also the vapor is explosive like any other fuel vapor.
Do a search for "Exhaust" on MauiGreen/Infopop. Its been discussed there. Basically it gets tooo hot and is very inconsistent in temp range. So far from all my reading no one has done it successfully using exhaust heat as primary heat source. Maybe you'll be the first?
