Broken valves and broken dreams
Yo, Kerry, you have a rig that's 24 freekin' years old, you want to run that
tired old tank at 100%, be my guest. You and Jon should talk to Ralph F about the way things are. He could bring some interesting tidbits to your attention. I have turned wrenches professionally for 30 years and I can deal with Cat mechanics as equals. Most of the people in vehicle service in the Milwaukee metro area know who I am. That said, I have NEVER talked to a competent Cat man who thinks it's OK to run a 'throwaway' against the governor. You guys who know better have at it. Hope it don't blow up when you loan it out to some "tourist".

It says do not run it above the rated rpm on the engine plate (2800rpm for a 210hp na). It says it can be run at full load between the rated rpm and 1900rpm (for NA) It does say DO NOT run it at full load under 1900rpm (for short periods, down to 1400 rpm's) for an NA or not below 1400rpm for a turbo. If they thought there was an optimal rpm, why not include it within all those limits?
