What would this do...



take the head out and look for scaring of the piston walls, usually happends
when revs high before oil manages to get to it.
other than that.. I dunno

=>Ok ok that's a good start.  What I need though is a problem(s)
=>that wouldn't
=>leave the motor totalled. Because it would still be running visibly ok.

=>
=>shhhh.

=>=>Hey guys,
=>=>
=>=>Just a little fun question to throw at you.  Does anybody have
=>=>any detailed
=>=>examples of what might happen If I were to run my motor at really
=>=>high RPM's
=>=>while it's cold, perhaps repeatedly.
=>=>
=>=>I'm looking for things like metal chips in the oil, loss of compression,
=>=>etc.  I need realistic answers to things that would actually
=>=>happen, so that
=>=>I can explain them as if they did happen and somebody would
=>=>believe me, even
=>=>a mechanic, or an insurance adjuster or something.
=>=>
=>=>Go nuts.
