This lack of wear results in the area below this ridge wearing away and the top sticks out over time.

    Are you saying if you don't rev the engine past 3000rpm you never reach TDC ( top dead centre ) for that piston Claymore? So by revving it past 3000rpm the rod is going to stretch right?

    and what determines taking the engine to its redline one or twice a week will make it last longer? Why not four or five times, or never hit the redline?

    Your recommendations are the most absurd advice I've read from any forums for a long time Claymore.
