Hi,
one of the shortcomings of the Pismo is providing adequate (stock) cooling on an upgraded CPU. The stock G3 doesn't need much heat disipation and I only once recall the cooling fan coming once on a very hot day in all the years I used mine. When you add a G4 into the mix (or a Powerlogix G3 900Mhz which never lived long due to overheating), the little aluminium plate the sits on the top of the CPU along with a tiny heatpipe going to a 15mm fan is woefully inadequate.
Therefore you need to look into some sort of custom cooling for the G4. First I'd take apart the heatsink investigate your options - you could potentially beef up the heatsink with a copper slug, or make the tiny little fan run all the time, not once in a blue moon. A PCMCIA cooling fan might also be a possibility.
