So as not to get thrown out with the EGG trash / Delete Key, your comments were great and on target.  Another pointer is to have the engine pre-warmed in colder climates to close those tolerances and get that oil flowing more quickly to exposed surfaces.  With a little boroscope training, it is shocking how fast tappet faces, cam lobes and cylinder wall begin to oxidize from high humidity levels.  Here in Oregon it is not uncommon to run 65%-85% humidity for six months.  After just seven days the sheeting action of the oil film is nearly gone and that relative humidity just loves internal engines that are not regularly run to “Full Operating Temperature” for the prescribed time to cook out the humidity from the oil.  Acids that are formed don’t help either.  

Temperature/adequate idle RPM and leaning the mixture help can help as well in the care and feeding of the dinosaurs.
