I know its a dum question, but how many of you warm up your engine? I always warm up my engine becuase i heard it messes up the alternator. Dont know if this is true but i still warm up the engine anyways. Does it have any effect if you dont warm up your engine? :dunno:

 

I haven't been lately because its been so warm out, and I normally park it in a heated garage...so for the most part no.

 

in the winter yes, when its 70*+ out No

 

i do not.

 

30 seconds to get the oil flowing @ idle, then just shift before 3K RPMs until the motor reaches OT. then i have fun w/ vtAk

 

when its cold, most of the time

 

cold= 7 minutes
warm=4 minutes

i timed it.

 

yes i leave on till it idles properly at 700 +/- 50

 

:werd: That's usually the time you wait till you should gear it in.

 

Yep, regardless of ambient outside temperature until it hits operating temp.
