Theob,

Thanks for following up on this and putting in the effort. I'm certainly interested in their response as I have "real data" (data logging and video evidence and pictures) to back up my issues (which they are more than welcome to obtain from me if they so desire).

As far as valve tips breaking -- has happened to many of the folks here on this forum (certainly the folks that track their cars). Also, if you look at the TSB history on the 2ZZ motor (from Toyota) it would indicate the 2ZZ rpm limit fluctuated over the span of the motors life (which is now no longer in active service) and finally ended at 7,800 rpm for the last year run.

Rob.
