Dave G a écrit :

your opinion) is it your feeling that running in the state people are
discussing here WILL cause harm, or merely a caution that harm MAY
result.
What's for sure is that you'll use the engine outside what it was
|
designed for. May it cause harm, or will it cause harm, and to what extent ?
A few examples :
- The manufacturer says not to take off before the engine is thoroughly
warm. What if one just starts up and takes off ? May it harm the engine,
or will it cause harm ?
- The manuals say to never run with no oil. What if one omits to add
new oil after draining the engine ? May it or will it harm ?
In either case the engine will run sweetly and smoothly.
We have usually few means of knowing how much harm mishandling may cause
to a particular engine.
What's sure is there are dos and don'ts for engine management, and the
careful pilot/operator will do the dos and avoid the don'ts.
I personally do my best to handle engines as correctly as I can.
Best regards,
