It's not there to cool the engine but to cool the charge air.
If the charge air temp increases you will be down on power and there is a possibility this will lead to detonation (especially on a high speed run at 100+). You will then either loose a piston/ring or the pressure of detonation will take out a big end (normally No.3)
