So. I won’t know until something bad happens or if I put 100k miles on my SS motor. But I have spent time at the shop and I feel comfortable with Steve’s skill set . ( a rip-off artist doesn’t invite you into his cleanroom to watch him work) .

?

Does anyone think 4000 k RPM is abuse on a EJ22 ??? ?. not me .The Subaru tach redline way above 4k RPM .

4K that was my shift point on the original VW and I’ve kept that habit with both my EJ conversions .

?

first one lasted more than 110 k miles without a internal rebuild and it had 111k miles when I transplanted.

?

On the latest transplant I purposely short shifted at 3k RPM the first 1k miles ( oil & filter change at 200 & 1000 miles.)

?

Now I shift @ 4K

?

Steve builds off road racing motors, he knows a thing or two about high RPM.

?

I don’t know Connor and I feel bad for his experience but I suspect there is more to the story.

I will share what happens to me but so far I am happy with 2.5 k miles ( no long trip or real ?mountains yet !) .
