Yes I mostly agree. But if it’s done I suspect that running it at high bell for at least 10min will be of great benefit but just running the rpm up for one minute to “blow-er-out” won’t be worth doing. Getting the temps up is the important element IMO.

But in defense of the trucks they climb 80 times as many “hills” as the boat engine. Just say’in the comparison is a bit weak.

Chris going down the hills IMO isn’t applicable to this issue.
