Cold engines? Are ring wear and engine longevity not a concern?



I would think the hot oil would help the surface areas of the bores to stay warm and not wear as much as a dead cold engine.

after a day at the dyno, my best pull of the day was when they did 3 back to back pulls, and got the oil up to around 170, then dumped the water, and cooled the block, did the last run with oil at 165 and water at 120, and it was the strongest pull of the day.
