Here pay for this and let me know what it says.
Uhm, we are talking about engines (whole cars actually) that have at least 10 miles on them and were tested at the factory. This article seems to look solely at wear on the various parts in the combustion chamber under various operating conditions, not whole cars being delivered to a customer. Without a thorough understanding of how much wear is bad and how much wear is good for Hp and longevity sake I think the article is a moot point. Did you read the motor-trend article I posted? There is no more debate, go back a few pages and read it.
