Thanks for comfirming that. This is deviating off topic, but I find it interesting that the myth still persists that these engines won't tolerate more than xxxx rpm (some people say 2200, some say 2500, others say 2700 rpm). It's clear that folks like you, Clint Dixon, George Asche and others have proven this to be incorrect and therefore a myth, but many folks still cling to this idea, presumably without much of their own experience in the matter, and just based on what they have heard from others. Granted, most of what I know on this subject is based on what I've heard, and not my own experience, but I have no reason to doubt you or the others I mentioned. I tend to believe that with a good balance job, these engines will do fine at such rpm's for sustained periods over many thousands of miles.
