operating engine rpm D180 K482

Recommended Posts

i have  a D180  with an engine  K482 ,as you  know it is not young  anymore but it is working perfectly . the big question is  how high  can we  rev. the engine safely,without not having to worry . if we  pass a piston through the  block or passing some valves through the head or breaking the crankshaft  ect. !!!!!!

according to some mechanics and automotive technicians ,the engine is made to  work at its  maximum   this is 3600 rpm. it says to avoid having problems with  the hydrostatic system , the engine needs its max  rpm . so what is  the middle ??? and safely  control???

 

need  technical suggestions

thanks

I know 3600 is generally the maximum for most engines.  I do recall seeing that one of the larger Kohler twins is governed to 3200 or 3400 RPM so I think you're fine at 3600 RPM as long as your governor is working properly.
