You don't think it was the fact they ran it without oil, plus, the
several pounds of burnt leaves, twigs and dead rodents in the cooling
fins? The crankcase when filled with biodiesel and allowed to sit a
couple of days discharged a huge amount of filth and sludge too. Yet it
wasn't totally destroyed.

The Onans I used to work on would get oil on the cooling fins. Then dust
from the environment would glue itself to the oil, providing a base for even
more oil to stick there, and so on. The stuff would build up, just like it
does on an air cooled Volkswagen with advanced mileage. Remember the
squarebacks, with the paint burned off around the engine cooling vents? It
would have been cool, to paint flames around them, but who needs that, when
you have real flames?
Gunk is not a good thermal conductor. A problem is that you cannot readily
clean the oil and "stuff" off the cooling fins, without removing some sheet
metal. How this works out for you, depends on how the beast fits under the
hood.
Another problem, is that you cannot run an air cooled engine at idle,
without losing cooling capacity. This loses you one of the advantages of a
diesel for rock crawling, or even cruising along logging roads on a Sunday
afternoon--low speed torque. You can't run them at the low speed, that you
want to.
