Re: how high do ls rev?? (degradated)
I have a LS, had it for a while, no rev limiter, you can take it to 7500 safely.....anything higher, and you will burn up seals and the such.....7500. I got one.....late

It's not normal (or safe) to be without a rev limiter.
I wouldn't say that it's safe to take it to 7500 unless you've done heavy valvetrain work... So saying something like this does NOT apply to everyone.

Re: how high do ls rev?? (98 Ek LsVtec)
I have an LS and it rev's up to 7400 without a problem, it bounces off of 7500 so i guess my rev limiter is 7500, i wonder why ppl rev up to 6800 when they got another 400 rpms to go or maybe it's just my engine? *shrugs*

Well, its because the powerband isnt kept up for that long. It usually starts to go down after 6300rpm. Going higher just lowers ur powerband. Going on a dyno can prove this. And i must agree, even sources say the redline for LS's is around 6800-7000.

What is involved in putting oil squirters in a block. I have seen them in Vtec blocks before, they do not look like somthing that justs bolts in like a block gridle.
