Is taking the Rpms to 6-7K on a daily basis neccesarly bad for the engine ?
I don't rag on my car but when I need to get up and go ill take it to around 6,200-6,500 ..

I've heard some comments about the oil pump gears going bad ..

Any thoughts ?

I mean it's not like I race from stop light to stop light, ill cruise it around 2-4k on the highway .. Depending on traffic ..

I'm just asking how bad is it to just do a couple pulls in the week.

Beating on your car that often isn't good for it, that's for sure. I also doubt it's going to grenade because of it. The 4v's are safer at higher RPMs, but I usually save anything above 4500 or so for drag racing. If you need to hit over 6k just to get into traffic or something, you're driving like a crazy person.

I wonder the same, I take mine daily to about 4k-4.5k rpm, Never really hit the rev limiter until I got a bit more comfortable with the car about a month or 2 ago, now I find myself hitting the rev limiter about once/twice a week..2v here tho
