When metal gets hot it swells to a larger sizes, when and engine warm- the parts swell to operation spec. When and engine is cold, the rings on the piston are not keeping the piston tight in the cylinder as it can as -when it is warmed up, like it should be, even worst on and engine with wear, causing lose of compression(lose of power). You might want to give what u drive a couple of min's to warm up when its cold or, for the first start of the day then.
