Am very curious and might play with an architectural discussion am having over at another forum
Are these engines deactivated during stuck in traffic/stop-sign/etc moments and turns OFF...to then turn back on when the throttle is touched?
IMHO...more of an issue with high pressure parts vs journal bears, like the crank to block vs valve train
Discussion is that during that short off and the high frequency they see...might the parts go metal to metal while waiting for traffic to move again?
Lots depends on many other things...engine oil film strength a biggie...
A tiny, tiny movement while metal to metal and dependent on the film strength of the oil to not allow it to go metal to metal
It is well documented that a high percentage of ICE wear (have seen numbers up to 60%) occurs during the first start after sitting over night...metal to metal wear...
They why of engine oiler kits so you start the ICE....AFTER...you run that engine oiler for a minute or two...
Just curious if these are part of that self stop/start to save the OEMs a tiny fraction in fuel usage
