Interesting point Billy, but it might be more academic than a reality
problem, and I think it's not much of an issue on an engine used daily. I
got nearly 300K on my last 1275 with the original oil pump. Pressure jumped
to normal essentially instantly on start up. A broken ring and piston top
is what did in the engine. Getting the crank back Monday, and it's still
std. std..
