Life Expectancy of your Engine?

[Joe's Garage]

Then there comes the debate on whether a pre-oiler makes sense on prolonging engine life, particularly with a very high end/expensive motor. The argument being real wear & tear occurs during cold startups when oil protection has to be pumped to the bearings and other critical areas which are essentially dry until oil pressure wets the engine. Some believe it, some don't - seems to be a personal preference thing, just sayin'.
