My wife getting scared

A rough analogy would be to think of drag racers versus rally car
engines. One lasts 20 to 30 seconds, the other lasts 1000 miles.

That's *too* rough. Unlimited drag racers are blown to a jillion horsepower
and burning nitro. It ain't the cycles that breaks 'em, it's the internal
pressures.

I think you're just going on gut feeling, and you know...

Intestinologists concur that the human gut does not contain any
rational thoughts.

What the human gut *is* full of is moderately well
known.

So, you're saying that running your engine from 900 to 2700 RPM over
and over again is no worse for it than running at 2300 RPM all day?

My mechanic would love your business...

Oh no you don't, Honeck! ;^)

1) I never said that.

2) You still haven't answered the questions: Why is "running your engine from
900 to 2700 RPM over
and over again" harmful? What parts of the engine are harmed and how?

Be sure and show your work.

Yes, I would say that. When I was learning to fly, the C-150 engines
ran longer with less problems than did the 172 and 182 and they DID run
like this all day long.

Jay,

YOU are saying that it IS worse. So prove it. Or at least give a hint
at why it should be so.
