You are all correct for a limited time the engine should hold up to a 5000 even 5000+ for a short time. I, however, made the mistake of a sustained 5000 plus or minus 1000 for over 250 miles at 50-60 miles per on an engine that just turned 100k and I only put the last 10k on. I have no idea what the previous owner did to this motor. It couldn't have been very good. I've had to do a lot of suspension work on this car. I was dumb.... Now I will pay for my impatient need to get to Salt Lake for a job interview that I had to pospone anyway.... The fact that I got the job and will lose the use of my car for a few weeks or months is the lesson I learned.
Matt, could you tell me where you got your rack again I looked though our posts and couldn't find the info.
Thanks
