They do have them. Every IDI has oil cooler jets spraying oil onto the bottom of each piston...which IIRC is part of why the oil pump puts out such a high volume of oil at such a low pressure, and also why there's so much oil vapor in the blow-by gases.
I'm honestly not sure why the Cummins and PSD guys can get away with such high temps...maybe the alloy their pistons are made up of can accept a higher temperature? Or maybe they're just playing Russian roulette with their engines and getting lucky?
I've always been told that 1200 F (or, more specifically, 1250 F ) was the maximum safe (pre-turbo) temperature for ANY diesel engine, although even on an IDI I think it's "okay" to go a bit higher for a second or two.
Personally, I don't let my pyro get above 1000 to 1100 for more than a couple of seconds....OTOH, my thermocouple's mounted in the up-pipe going into the turbo, so while it's still pre-turbo, the exhaust has had a chance to cool a bit...
