I have heard of a couple engines running a slightly hotter (10 deg or so) after a fresh rebuild, but their owners and I attribute it more to new bearings and tighter clearances--not thinner bore walls. In both cases after a few hundred miles, the engine temps returned to "normal". Increase heat tells me the motor has more friction due to the fresh cylinder walls being rougher than before the rebuild, especially when it goes back to normal after break in Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
