RE: Engine Care !!! ( After A Day At The Feild )
Flyboy, Lancair is absolutely correct. The cooling has little to do with it. A hot turbo (Hotter than normal operation) when prematurely shut down will boil and coke up the oil at the shaft bearings. This will lead to premature bearing/shaft failure. But in your case tha turbos would be cool enough. The idling is to let the impellers come to low RPM with oil supplied to the bearings. I would continue to do as you have been. I got this info from a Garret rep at a Chrysler school I attedned many, many moons ago.
I also do not run out the fuel or use ARO. I will put some down the glow plug hole and in the carb when I am going to let them sit for a while. Like between seasons or going to a different model for a length of time. I havn't had any real problems yet.

"Drain the oil out of your car and start it." It will run until "heat" gets the piston and cylinder too hot and it wil seize. i didnt say it wouldn't run, i said you will have problems with parts.
do what you want to do you will have to replace your engine sometime!

I'm just posting what the manual says. I trust O.S. engineers not to lead me wrong. There is lube inside. It's not bone dry. Take your head off and look inside. There is oil still on everything. As long as it has enough to coat the parts it will not hurt it. Even a car will run for 10 minutes with the oil drained because there is still oil on everything. Heck maybe even longer.
"Drain the oil out of your car and start it." It will run until "heat" gets the piston and cylinder too hot and it wil seize. The oil is not just there to lube everything but also to take the heat away form the parts and cool them. Yes, I will agree with you that if it is RUNNING without no lube it will damage the parts. But when I start it it has the after run coating all over the piston,cylinder and crank.
This could go on forever. Some people use after run and some people don't. Some say they use it and no problems and some say they don't and no problems. Maybe they are both right because it doesn't matter either way. Just do what gives you peace of mind.

and back to flyboy's saying
drain the oil out of your car and start it, you will damage the piston, sleeve and other parts the only reason they tell you to run the fuel out is so it dont gum up, if you are going to start them within the next week they won't do that, heck i let mine sit without running it out for months and it starts right up.
im not saying its bad to run the fuel out of the engine but if the shaft turns the piston is going to move if there is no lube inside its going to scratch something
