Andrew, back in the "olden days" of the 60s, 70s and 80s War Bonnet Region PCA invented Tech sessions. We invited engineers and mechanics from all over the country and had a factory speakers from Porsche AG. Top engineers from the tire companies, oil companies and many professional mechanics like Roger Chaney, and even Helmuth Bott, the chief engineer at Porsche AG came to talk.
Both Chuck Stoddard and Bruce Anderson participated every year. Chuck Stoddard was always a major draw. He would do a question and answer session, and before the first question he wrote on the chalk board, oil. He said there is always several questions about oil, so he just starts off with that.
His comments about warmup for air cooled engines was the same and Bruce, keep the revs low until the engine has warmed up to at least 170 or so. I have no web page or printed documentation from those sessions. Likely some of them are in Panorama. the national PCA club's magazine, but I don't have those old issues anymore.
Bottom line, I will continue to let my engine warn up before hitting full power. You are welcome to follow your routine.
