The FL120 is rated at 120hp @ 2500 rpm. Whether that is their limited rpm, load or no load, or if they will turn faster at no load and full throttle is something I will never find out unless someone who already knows tells me. We don't take our engines higher than 1800 rpm and our normal cruise power is 1650 rpm.[/QUOTE]
Do you think it could do some damage to the engines?
It seems no one knows for sure.
I talked to Cat the tec told me diesels are built to run at WOT. Such as use in a generator and on heavy equipment. They frequently run at WOT.
The question remains is it good or bad to run them up occasionally?
