Be wary of Easystart - the land on the piston above the top ring can
be broken by the excess pressure, which leads to 'Easystart

with Easystart. It's ok in VERY small quantities.

I agree with that, it's more to do with easystart having a high cetane
rating, it readily detonates and so used heavily can cause this damage.

The need for it tends to mean the engine needs overhauling but I'd still use
it sparingly as you say.

5 mins to charge my glass but elton john has driven me from the sitting
room.
