So you don't think the dust and debris would get all through the engine in a hundred or so hours? Top end only, eh?
Maybe so, but I will bet against you on that one.
Twenty hours running is around 5,110,560 litres of dusty air for a 200 cubic inch, 4 cycle, engine at 2500 rpm. That's grade A, tasty, red dust.
