Can flooring a cold car engine cause cold seizure?

[CKN]

If you have a newer vehicle-you are going to have to try very, very hard to break it.

Or....just drive sedately?

That only works if you drive a sedan.

I have a 1981 Edition of Lemon-Aid car guide book. In the 1970’s Ford did have a ‘piston scuffing’ defect in its 4 and I-6 engines that had to do with cold vehicle warm up.
Not a problem today!

I have had like 5-6 spun bearing issues this year alone. Pretty bananas on the amount

More likely to throw a rod or spin a bearing. Why don't you give it a try and report back.

Garage 54 should give this a try, and in the middle of winter in Novosibirsk.
