…an air-cooled Porsche 6 spinning up to 6500 RPM… sounds a lot like something really, really expensive might happen soon…

That’s how I’ve always felt about my engine over 5000, so that’s where I stop. The builder claims it’s safe to 6200, so am I being a wuss?

At those revs, I don’t hear angels singing. They sound more like the loan officer at my credit union.

I will note that I’ve logged about 33,000 miles on this engine, and so far, no blue smoke.
