Dave, I understand what you are saying, and trying to do. I think the issue is that MANY engine experts, and manufacturers disagree with you. By endorsing a philosophy that it's ok to run ABC engines sloppy rich, you ignore these people's experiences. What you also do is encourage people to ignore the manufacturer's recommendations and possibly do things wrong. There's a reason people recommend a certain type of break in for ABC engines, and why manufacturers include strong warnings NOT TO RUN ABC ENGINES SLOPPY RICH. They don't do this just because it's an old wives tale, they do it because they know it causes problems leading to worn engines, warranty claims, and customer dissatisfaction. It's beyond me why you are taking such delight in encouraging people to ignore the combined experiences of the manufacturers and engine experts.
