"O. Sami Saydjari" wrote in message ... OK. I have a basic question. Why is running an engine at peak temperature (as in Rich-of-Peak operation) not good for the engine? In the scheme of things 50-100 degress cooler than peak temperature (where many folks recommend the engine be run) does not seem significantly lower in temperature than the peak temperature. It would seem if the engine parts can stand Peak-100 degrees, they would be able to stand peak. What am I missing? (Oh, and I have read Deakin's articles on AVWEB, and still have this question). As you yourself just said, the engine can "stand" it. It's all about wear and tear. Why abuse the machine? Do you drive your car at redline on the tach?
