Two years ago we blew up 3 Datsun 1600 (R16) blocks before we lowered the rpm's on the rev limiter.

Usually you need the engine on a dyno to find this out. T; /html/vintage-race/2001-04/msg00180.html (11,653 bytes)

Piston speed can be critical, as some pistons crack if going too fast. Check the manufacturer for max on piston speed. Then figure pist; /html/vintage-race/2001-04/msg00182.html (8,618 bytes)

Nice to know that they did, in fact, run there. Does the literature men; /html/vintage-race/2001-04/msg00189.html (8,998 bytes)
