    Why 2650rpm max?

    I must ask, what is so bad with 2650 as a max rpm? Why is this a fault? You need to draw the line somewhere.

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Consider this if your going to compare tractor puller's engines. They run for about 5-10 seconds at full throttle/full load. 10-15 pulls a year. That's full power for 2.5 minutes/year. And they do blow eventually.

    Why 2650rpm max?

    I never meant to imply that the rod bolts were getting weaker with age(as the root cause of the failures). I was only making a generalized statement. At this point in the thread, I am wondering if the OP realizes that the trucks have a governor.

    All metal fatigues and changes with age.

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Let's not forget these engines are 20- 40 years old and obsolete for a reason. Time takes it's toll on all things, including bolts under tension.
