If you fail to warm it up the specified way will it damage the engine? Or will it cause premature engine failure?

Any sort of metal you heat up, expands. Givne that you have many moving parts in the engine which warm up at a different pace, it is important that you don't push it to the limits as long as the warm up is not complete. In addition, and very important, the oil will reach its best lubrification characteristics when being warm (oil gets thinner) and on top of all that, the seals of your engine will appreciate when the engine is warmed up before you get to the fun part.
I guess with the newest engines and all the computer cutting of the metail pieces and usage of better materials, the warm up time has reduced over the years. Have fun

LOLO chill man! Just relax...i'm sure that was just an inocent joke with no racism in it, because we all are equal to each other as human beings no matter the religion or race, but that doesn't mean that we can't or should miss the natural differences between races. Asian people will always look apart, black people will always be black and so on...those are just facts.

Of course people from different country will look different, but if you look at my pictures you wouldn't find me wearing those hats right? That image of the hat associated with Chinese because farmers wear those hats back in the days. I am sure some still wears but that's the image that most people think of, what kind of rational is that you wear that hat you are chinese :thumbsdown:

Can I say people who wear turbins are Indians? No of course not as only some of them wear the turbin because of their religion, you have to understand the fact.

Racism sometimes start with innocent jokes and that's a problem we have to address. I am sure madoon will not be too happy if I say all Arab guys wear that clothe around their head right (Bahrain = UAE). I can say is an innocent joke

but I don't think he would agree.

So no racist comments ok guys

@AC_S5...sorry i did not mean to insult u in any way...and this isnt a racist coment...i didnt think anyone would think of it in that way cause i never thought about it in that way..
but u did say that the farmers where them..

just joking....
and i dont mind if you made a joke of what we wear, as i know its a joke..and like BetterMakeWay said we are all equail...
if you think that what we wear on or heads is strage you should know that many people find the clothes we wear..much more strage...

i dont mind if some one made a joke about my people...that is as long as its funny...and i have just come to notice that no one has laughed at my coment...lol..
