What bearing feels gritty to me, doesn't to you, or vice versa. Or is the metric "if you can hear the engine's bearing noise, it's time for a change". Or is it something else entirely<BR>

After-run treatment perhaps may not be as important as "running treatment". I suspect there-in lies much of the answer, with control of cooling and lean running conditions, being up at the top of the chart. <BR>
One man's opinion<BR>

So, some people are running them dry with good results, some are <BR>
leaving fuel in them with good results, some are using after run oil <BR>
with good results. I'm begining to think it doesn't matter how you <BR>
store your engines!</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
