Also, force feeding oil to the bearing would cause immense drag, and if the spindle on my CNC machine is anything to go by, excess oil causes it to run hotter, not cooler, as it can't disperse the oil quick enough to carry away the heat so the temperature rises. My spindle runs a positive pressure with very fine oil mist. I don't know if the bearing on a crank would be the same, but I would say that the oil carried in the intake mixture does a pretty fine job of lubricating and removing heat.
That's an interesting insight. As usual!
