Hello, my 1989 7mgte motor has 212,000 thousand miles on it.
There is nothing wrong wit it, but during races im scared to push it.
wat rpm do u guys recommend that is safe? i have only push it almost to 4 and a half rpm. iam holding back ? or iam pushing too much for this old engine. the hg has been replace wit aluminum hg.

oh yeah, i was thinking bout if i should rebuild my motor, or buy a lower mile one? if i rebuild how much iam looking at?
