Do not think it matters. Show me all the engines that were put together in the late 80s, installed in the early 90s and driven, raced in 2 classes, 14 races a year just about every year since 2000 and still is running great with 50+ lbs at a hot(fast) idle ?
Might be overthinking it. Not that is a bad thing, just does not matter in the end.

I'll take the advice of a legendary USAC Sprint Car engine builder whose engines won TWO national championships.....How many miles do you really think were acquired in all those races? After all, a drag race engine operates for mere SECONDS at a time.
