Would a car engine last longer, if the first few cranks from the starter were slow so as to get the parts moving and lubricated?
Then the starter speeds up, the engine injects the gas and fires the plugs?
It seems that the first few cranks of the engine in really cold weather happen too fast, too jarring, too jarring apart cold parts rather than a low gear movement of a new innovative starter?
Could even be a second "starter mechanism type" motor that is geared differently to turn it slowly?
It would likely start easier?
Not that modern engines flood a lot, but this type of protocol might lessen that?
And it could be thermostatically controlled? Whereby it never kicks in in hot weather.
But when it is 9 degrees below zero it does?
Sure, I know, we have engine heaters and accessories...
If an engine had an auxiliary hand crank, and not one that would break off in your hand or bend the aluminum and separate engine seals, that would be neat?
Just thinking out loud.
Which is easiest on a serpentine "fan" belt, a slow roll in frozen weather or a quick start?
