But to be honest, don't be cheap and man up. It's people like you (wanting to abuse warranty) that make it harder for the rest of us to get warranty coverage. See the other threads on the first page in this section for some perspective.

Warranty is there to cover defective parts, not save your dumb ass from rookie mistakes.

Actually, it can... engine heat will degrade plastic parts and make them brittle and susceptible to damage rather easily...
