will eventually pay the price. My buddy mortally wounded his motor
yesterday. Manuafactures put redlines on motors for a reason. |

How high was the guy going? I know someone who is happy with consistently revving his to 12500.
I don’t usually let mine go much beyond 11000. |

My wankel has over 100 hrs on it. I keep the rpm's at around 10.5k and
run a 35:1 premix of 96 octane and a ester based synthetic. Folks that
continously over rev their motors will eventually pay the price as my
buddy did. He consistently ran his between 11k and 13k because the motor would go there. If he would have stayed within the recommended
rpms it wouldn't be in parts on his bench. Motors have redlines for a reason. I'm hoping to get to 300 hrs on mine before a rebuild. I should be there in another year. |
