Break-in is HUGE especially if your using a low oil content without preheating this sets the tune for longevity especially on high pinch motors.
Jay, in my experience, the quality of the oil pkg in Byron's 30/11 is so good, you can run the engines way lean and still not have to worry about excessive crank pin wear. The piston and sleeve fitment suffers the most when running lean with this fuel but a resize is only $25. But your right, there are many many variables to consider.
