As far as working out a safe operating speed, you can use a piston speed of
10 m/s as a guide - remember that the calculation is engine speed times
twice the stroke converted to m/s.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 1.6 Zetec Redline
I'm a member in Canada, just north of Toronto.
Two years ago I imported a Plus Two (Q2-064) in only fair condition,
put it up on blocks, and completely disassembled and rebuilt it
including changing to LHD and a swap to a 'new old stock' 1.6 Zetec ,
also from the UK. Thanks to Andy Heaton for helping me with hard-to-
find parts, and Jim Hearne for advice.
I had it 'certified', and on the road earlier this summer.
I'm running it with Megasquirt II v 3.56, Innovate LC1 wideband
processor, Ford EDIS, MS Extra, and Tunerstudio and have it running
fairly well using VE Analyser, but can't get a 'professional' tune. So
I have an appointment on Saturday with a Tuner and Dyno. He wants to
know the Redline for the engine - we didn't get the 1.6 here. Despite
a few hours Googling I have only come up with conflicting numbers
between 6300 and 7000. Does anyone know the safe maximum limit?
Thanks, Bill Woodland
