Afraid, I cannot agree with you there. It's a widespread and common issue and much more worthy of concern than IMS ever was on the earlier lumps.
And while I always warm my cars up carefully as it is a generally sound approach, it won't make the slightest difference to whether these cars bore score.

ragpicker said:This is all a bit moot really. Get it scoped and see. If it isnt scored then continue maintaining it the way you have and observe for change every year.
If it is scored then either continue to maintain it and observe for change, sell it, or rebuild it.
Naval gazing about an issue which is perfectly within your power to observe doesnt really achieve very much.
Just my 2p.

Moreover, scoping is often inconclusive. The difference between a bit of scuffing and early scoring that's going to become an issue isn't straight forward. If it's bad enough to be unambiguous on the scope, you probably didn't need to scope it in the first place.
It's not as straight forward as you make out.

Yes it is to someone who is good at scoping them.
Anyway, now you are being argumentative and that is the end of my input.
