If it starts to seize, yes.. but running a saw pig rich because your paranoid about a seizure is ridiculous.
Mtronic and Autotune are your friend..

Might actually lead to more ring wear given that excess fuel washes the cylinder as well...not to mention less power, more emmissions and worse fuel consumption. There is simply no good reason to run a saw rich like this.
This is exactly why Autotune and Mtronic are a good thing IMO.
I've never heard of a 661 mtronic go over 13600 on a tach WOT. That's were I'm tuned.

I'm just repeating the WOT rpms from AS members I've asked that have them. Also, what I've read on AS. I'd like to hear from additional 661 owners of their experience.
And that pertains to your 660 how? My ms260 isn't lean at 14,600, but that doesn't stop knuckle heads from running them at 13000 rpm..
