Quote from tuning articles that i keep if it helps you?

"Tested the limit of the hydro lifters on my engine. After short reving at 7200 rpm's two hydro valve lifters started to knock on idle for about 5 mins. After that period they settled back to normal. So, basically that means 7000 rpm should be a kind of safe limit"
Thanks mate, sounds good to me. You are an encyclopeadia of T4 articles! I like it lol
