hey andrew! long time no talk.

I am no scientist, but this is my understanding (and also relates to thrashing your car when cold)

Any temperature except for the temperature the car is designed to run at is either too hot or too cold.

When the ol' girl was designed they calculate tolerances based on expansion (or contraction) based on metal temps. So, when it's cool, then the clearances will be larger than ideal, and given the oil pressure of X things might tend to bang around a bit.

Which is one reason why cars wear out more when cold, because there are larger clearances and blah blah?????

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding yeah
