just because it isn't a 4cyl doesn't mean it can't rev...? 4k isn't bad at all...i bet it reds at 6500...

yea like tony said...as long as its not a diesel or a HUGE motor 4krpm should be just peachy...that and i see its already running again...so.../thead

[PSiedTSi]

it really doesnt matter how big the motor is...its all about stroke and how well the motor is balanced...

but having half of the oil in it that it should, and that oil being hella old, and more than likely old plugs/wires/dizzy and old gas probably wouldnt be to great.

Instead of throwing parts at it, he should go through and check for the basics, spark, fuel and air.

When I had problems with my '83 Supra it always ended up being fuel related. First my fuel pump went out then I later found out why it failed, rust from the fuel tank had clogged a pre-filter in the fuel line about a foot away from the tank just before the fuel pump. Do you know if your fuel pump is in or out of the tank?

have no idea ill find out when i rip it apart after i get out of pracs...
