You'll beat the rod bearings to death on a cold startup before they get enough oil pressure to lubricate them properly in all but the hottest summer weather. On an old engine with three times the recommended rod bearing clearance due to worn bearings, it might prolong the engine life a while before it beats itself into oblivion. Jerry
