There is no data nor logic to support the notion that running the engine hard will lower the chance of engine failure.

In fact, the opposite is quite true.

Think about it. The IMS fails under stress. Is the engine experiencing stress more or less at idle or at 7000 rpms.

Lets stay rational on this topic, huh?

If I had a used Box, I would have a warranty. That is me.
