Reply to "How should I be driving my engine?"

I guess I'm asking if I should drive it like I stole it, or if it would be fine just driven normally.

I'm wondering if the rpm's aren't kept high that I'll gum up the rings or if it's just an engine, and will last long if I putt around and won't last as long if I rev it to 7000 all the time, or if I should occasionally give it the "Italian Tune-Up" and beat on it occasionally to avoid carbon buildups.

These days, I save the hot-rod driving for the track, when street driving I'm usually just driving normally. It's too dangerous to drive fast/race on the streets.

I know Roger regularly tracked Snow White. He told me he used to drive from hs home, to Reno-Fernly, track it all day long, and then drive it home.

He also mentioned he'd adjusted the valves 3 weeks ago, so they won't need attention for a while. How many miles that is, I don't know.
