[T3] Number four issues...

<x-flowed>To Keith,
Thanks for the response.  Indeed, I was both running premium and I live 
(and drive) at altitude...homes at 7,000 and 6,400 ft and regular trips 
to 9-10K.
And, you are correct that that is thick oil...but remember, that's what 
I ended using at 40-50K), not what I broke the motor in with...that was 
20W/20W winter oil which has excellent detergent qualities for 
break-in.  I followed with 10/30 for many miles.  And, while I am very 
aware that thicker oil is merely an aspirin for cancer, it kept the oil 
pressure well within specs for a longer period, clearly at the risk of 
slightly lower starting lubrication.  But, this is car well garaged and 
starts were typically at no less than 50*F.  But, you are absolutely 
correct in your assumptions about oil, compression ratios and heat.
