The 4000 rpm limit i think is bs anyways, im a tech and i set my limit to be like 6200 rpm and i have not had a problem. That's how a boxer engine should be broken in. This isnt any offence but this cel brz is driven by an older guy and when i asked, he followed the 4000 rpm rule in an AT of all things meaning this car never seen any rpm."
I, for one, would be grateful if someone could explain-clarify how break-in would affect the valve in question. I am not at odds with this statement. I am just a little vague about how that works.
Thanks.
