How you run in your engine is your business. I've been in too many message board "flame fights" to want to go through the whole sordid business again. However, I would comment that just because it's published on the internet, doesn't mean it's right. I run my engines in my way because, well, they are my engines and I want them still to be my engines in years to come. Plus, 4 years at Loughborough studying Metallurgy and Tribology tells me that it's the right way to do it.
