Even John Deakin burned out a set of

You
know, all that drag increase with V squared.

I'd hesitate to speak for Mr. Deakin but I'd venture that he'd
disagree violently that running lean of peak burned out his cylinders.
Since running lean of peak results in low temperatures and less gas
being burned, how exactly did they get burned out?

I addressed Kage's comments to Deakin and he responded in a private email.
You're completely right that Deakin disagrees...well, vehemently.
