Now my GN is still under the knife getting revived, but I was wondering what some older members ( not by age) consider reasonable RPM limits are for various components. I know these are low rpm engines from the factory. I know max hp and torque are defined by heads/cam ect.
But from my searches there is no single thread regarding RPM limits. If someone was to build a solid roller motor, at what point would the main/cam/rod bearings fail? Rockers and springs? Ignition and PCM? Tranny problems?
A good friend of mine passed away recently who built a 9k RPM 95 Z28, a stark contrast to my 94 shifting at 6k. He was a motor head at heart and a good guy. Anyone here built a high revving 3.8? This is a conversation starter not a build thread, just wondering what kind of interesting builds have taken place in the TR world.
