This does not sound right to me. He mentions theat he is using this method for 10 years now, but meanwhile we have ABC engines which need to be run at operating temp, or the piston will wear the sleeve away.
Any thoughts about his procedure? Has anybody done it his way?

I used to do it that way but I don't any more because of exactly what you said. These days I'll do the very WOT part for 1, maybe 2 tanks and then onto the track for the rest.
