There is a recurring statement throughout the thread that says WVO damages engines and apart from sticky piston rings there doesn't seem to be anything else listed.
Would it be possible to create a list of problems that occur as a result of using WVO?

Injection Pumps maybe. But they can get damaged from a lot of things such as water in fuel, bad fuel, and possibly running unheated WVO through it for extended periods of time.
Although for Mercedes, the IPs are so tough that I don't think it is common for WVO to harm IPs. This one i just got had cold WVO go through it at start up to the first 15 minutes or so for the last 3 years. It seems fine although it may have been gunked up at first.
